that picTure there

My student Karly pointed out on our class Wiki that the Library of Congress has its own Flickr site = wonderful.

Wonderful like this photo by Jack Delano of kids picking potatoes in Aroostook Co. Maine. The comment tags on the image are really interesting, including testimonials of growing up in that part of the world, as well as the unsettling possibility that the child on the right is crying?



She also pointed out that COLORS 58 is themed on portrait studios...



How many us of from "generation X" had their pictures taken at Sears photo studio? Do they even exist anymore, I'm not sure.
