The story and the ability to flip through all those photographs. Thanks so much. I'm not very far, but i've found one titled "School Children in Costumes". It's actually a picture of FDR giving a speech, but i'm going to keep on believing that there are school children in there. I like taking pictures of children. With adults i feel the same as the two of you, unless i've got a long lens and the person doesn't know i'm photographing. This is super cool, Dawn.

Sorry about the fish. Even more amazing when you consider that all that potential was captured years before that young man actualized his life contributions.

I've always been fascinated with portraits and people pics, regardless of the subject. Especially in black and white with shadows and skin tone and wrinkles. That second pic is amazing. yeah. i had to settle for taking pictures of the fish at the market. :) it was too dark, tho, and the pics didn’t come out.

I just can't take photos of people. It's an invasive act (for me) - and yet when you look at the work of the Scurlocks you realize these images gave face to the otherwise ignored. These images are nothing short of a celebration. The ability to capture another human on film is a gift. At least you remember the faces you saw in Chinatown - maybe their power is in memory. :) Ubertramp – I’m totally with you there. I just can’t take photos of people.
