Daphne, this is a very moving picture. It, to me, looks like a time during the MLK battle for rights. Her face says a lot. Well done ~ Marsha #4618116

Even though she was tired of taking photographs and ready to leave....and even though your CAMERA was truely getting on her last nerves, and irritating the heck out of her ...I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT, IT WAS "ALL WORTH IT"- ..because the OUTCOME was emotionally BEAUTIFUL! - Beauty is ALL around us..it is EVERYWHERE! ..ITS EVERYWHERE WE LOOK..AND EVERYWHERE THAT WE "DONT" LOOK!!! - Expect beauty at any moment.. As photograpHERs and photograpHIMs .."TIMING" is very IMPORTANT! -- ALWAYZ expect the unexpected!- Keep up the wonderful work
