To my mind, the photo was no indication of Chris's politics.Like many of his images it was a document of the state of mind in his partof the world.It was less a political statement of his stance than Jim's of LBGT eventsor even some Lluis's images.It was not judgemental in any way, unlike the frequent reactions of disgustover obesity, or drunk jokes about rosacea sufferers.I didn't like the content, but it's an image portraying something I livewith everyday.  It's not even the worst I've seen.When people say they don't like flowers or cats, I don't care.  I want youto look at the photography, the light, the composition, not the prettyflower or the cute cat.Chris made no statement about his personal beliefs, but the composition wasterrific, as usual, and the background elements combined to make a powerfulimage.Look at it again as a photographer.http://chriscrawfordphoto.com/chris-details.php?product=2489Regards,Sonnyhttp://sonc.com/look/Natchitoches, Louisiana1714Oldest Perman
