Hey, I had to start somewhere, right? " Comment on the times, and a very nicely done one at that. Another LUGGER commented that it is very reminiscent of the WPA photos of families sitting around the Zeinith or Motorollas listening to FDR, and it really is an update of that. As Ted suggested, I might try shooting more at kid level, I might also try, if you have a really wide lens, to also shoot a scene like this from behind the TVs, or at least shoot it in such a way that you get a bit more of the faces in the shot. But that's nit picking: This is definitely not "just a lousy snapshot," but is a document of family life at the turn of the century. Very nice. B.
