Taken a while back ... I just wanted to share:

I love seeing your shots Seefut.

What's the story with this one?

don't know how it slipped through the net without any comments.

 

A stunning photo.

 

Thanks John. No real story. I was in college driving around the foothills of Upland, Ca, when I chanced upon a group of citrus pickers by the road on the edge of an orchard. I pulled over, hopped out and snapped a few. It was a very cold morning.

Man, this was posted over a year ago ... lol.

Thank you Canadianme. I've always felt compelled to look/stare at the eyes ... wondering how I would have felt if we were to trade places.

excellent shot Gary, reminds me of photos of the great depression era.

 

It is a rare photo that captures a look so hauntingly genuine, yes you are right it does make you wonder. It is one of the rare photos I think is genuinely timeless. Reminds of works by Diane Arbus, Bruce Davidson, Walker Evans, etc. It holds up to what I consider the best photographs, just a timeless classic. When I see a photo such as yours, they make me curious to what happened to them, it provokes curiosity. A true test of a great photograph in my eyes.

 

Wonderful capture Gary.
And rightfully resurected thread.

Dani.

 

I love it as well, great connection with the subject.

 

That's y'all ... that photo is pretty special to me.
