You mean for a project name that we are lifting wholesale from Steichen? Incidentally, before we get too carried away with this, I think people should read Bill Jay's essay about how the original "Family of Man" was seen by many photographers at the time as a substantial sellout, even a betrayal. It's a very interesting essay. I'll cite chapter and verse as soon as I can find the book (I've just moved, and, annoyingly, very few things in my house are where I expect them to be). - --Mike
