I shot this on Thanksgiving Day in 2000 in Seagrove Beach, FL, on Live Oak Street. The families that live on the street gathered each Thanksgiving to celebrate the holiday. They set up tables outside (weather permitting) and spent the day giving thanks for all their good fortune. The technical info is: Olympus OM-4T, Tokina 80-200mm at ~200mm, f2.8, on Tri-X @ ISO400, D-76, 1:1.
What prompted me to post this image, is the images I saw today on the New York Times Photojournalism page (lens.blogs.nytimes.com/) showing images from the early Kodak photo contests. As photographers/artists, we all like to think we bring something different to the table with our images but the images I saw on today's page could have been taken yesterday instead of 80+ years ago. It is all about the light. If you get a chance, take a look at some of the images. The light in these images is what makes them work for me. And, as I look at my favorite images on flickr, the images that I study are the ones that usually have very simple compositions but the light is AWESOME!!!
