I sometimes find it difficult to "comment" on powerfully disturbing photographs. This image in particular reminded me of the work I did for "Light on Poverty in Appalachia." <http://imagist.com/photo/images/family_01.jpg> <http://imagist.com/photo/images/family_01_02.jpg> I was also able to gain access to the "private" rooms of fellow human beings existing at the unhealthy, absolute bottom of our socio/economic system; abandoned by the coal mining industry when veins ran thin and strip mining replaced the miners. 40 years after doing that work I still tear up thinking about those people's conditions. Interesting that our POTUS is talking, this week, about income inequality as the most important issue of time In terms of your color vs B&W versions of this photograph I find the color version garish and quite unnatural; so I prefer the black and white Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist
