How many more faces like this will we see in coming months? -- how many have we seen already?




And how many scenes like this?




Many have said that what occurred in New Orleans in the wake of Katrina would soon be coming to a city near you -- were they right?

1. photo credits?

don't mean to pick nits, but appropriating from artists w/o credit is not exactly ideal.

2. This arguably falls under the "fair use" doctrine.

4. For the first picture:

Portrait shows Florence Thompson with several of her children in a photograph known as "Migrant Mother". The Library of Congress caption reads: "Destitute pea pickers in California. Mother of seven children. Age thirty-two. Nipomo, California." In the 1930s, the FSA employed several photographers to document the effects of the Great Depression on the population of America. Many of the photographs can also be seen as propaganda images to support the U.S. government's policy distributing support to the worst affected, poorer areas of the country. Lange's image of a supposed migrant pea picker, Florence Owens Thompson, and her family has become an icon of resilience in the face of adversity. However, it is not universally accepted that Florence Thompson was a migrant pea picker. In the book Photographing Farmworkers in California (Stanford University Press, 2004), author Richard Steven Street asserts that some scholars believe Lange's description of the print was "either vague or demonstrably inaccurate" and that Thompson was not a farmworker, but a Dust Bowl migrant.

For the second picture:

Riot police block a street preventing opposition supporters from rallying in downtown Minsk, Belarus, in early March 2006. Thousands of opposition supporters massed in an unsanctioned rally in the capital, tightly guarded by a large contingent of riot police, who pushed back the crowd chanting "Freedom" out of a downtown square toward the river bank.

5. not sure about that but sorry to pick a nit anyway -- I just thought the first

photo was so beautiful, it was a shame not to credit the artist.

6. No problem -- I'm not always very good about sourcing...

...on the pictures I use -- you're quite right, it's a good habit to provide credits when possible.

That first picture is a classic, sad and beautiful.
