	This is a wonderfully composed photograph. So much texture and the fence and wagon and car just lead us into the scene. Love the hat on the knee. (Reply to this)

	I immediately thought of the Grapes of Wrath when I saw this, but they appear to be happy. (Reply to this)

	Oh, Dee, please tell us something about this photo! Who are these men and boys, where do they live, what might they have been doing before the photo was taken. When was it taken? It really is fabulous! Nancy from My Ancestors and Me (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Do not have a clue...I snagged the image from the LOC because they said they did not know of any copyright. I've thought about trying to find something out about that plantation though. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	From Alan : The picture seems to share that element with this weeks' theme picture of being "informally posed". In both cases it was either luck - or quite creative stage management. (Reply to this)
