an island were a government did not see fit to keep a teacher for the few families (18~) some of which had huge offspring (18) again; you should have seen that; a smallish bell cast type of quebecois house, with 4 or 5 clothes lines stretching out, always heavily laden; one day, I saw 18 children coming out of the front porch door, from the tallest to the last, carried out; it left me speechless, not the number, but the house minuscule size compared to the denizens; I am an architect sensitive to space uses; well they beat me to efficiency of use for a given space; this here young boy came from a 6 or 8 kid family; he is now waiting for me to 'shoot' him at the stable door, were I will take out is other siblings one after the other; they are answering mother call to dinner and I had to make it fast; there are ways even with large format negatives; the mind must be faster than all the tools, even today, especially.
