That's an insult to the art don't those people know they're supposed to keep
moving at a steady pace!!?!?
I was just reading Dorothea Lange: A Life Beyond Limits
by Linda Gordon
(here she is using a Graflex on top of a car
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6f/Lange_car.jpg  )

She was talking about the Family of Man exhibit which Lange had a hand in
with Steichen.
There was a shot of a lynching. They took it out because of the bottleneck
it made in crowd control. The director of the show. Not Steichen or Lange of
coarse.

Gotta keep em moving!
