A shot that speaks clearly and unequivocally. Nicely composed and
rendered. Well done.
I remember playing with soldiers exactly like that as a child. Along
with the other kids on my block, I'd stage mock battles in the dirt of
my little backyard. Military service was still a glorious thing in
those days. The memories of victory in the big war were still fresh in
the minds of our parents.
I recall when I was about five years old -- that would have been 1953
-- a neighbor came home who had been MIA in the Pacific theater. The
street was hung with flags and banners, and the entire neighborhood
partied well into the night. It was a different time.

This is a true found picture. The day I shot Ruby Jumps, I was
walking along, and found this--as recorded in the frame--on Foster
Beach.
