Family Car

comments?

Yep. Do you know the famous Depression-era picture by Margaret Bourke-White of Blacks in a breadline with a billboard behind them showing a happy (White) American family driving in their car? The irony there was so thick you could have spread it on a hotdog instead of the mustard. This photo kind of echoes that one, without the breadline, of course. But in some ways the grim, expressionless faces of this family speak of a new modern day malaise, a Depression of the American spirit, of a time of shattered hopes and illusions. Perhaps I'm reading too much into the picture, but those were my thoughts. Regards, Jack

Jack, You got it exactly. Exactly. Must be your gaijin powers of awareness.
