how many seas must a white dove sail...
Some rivers are so deep, so slow and long ... we no longer remember source or destination.

this is an amazing photograph. With pictures like this, I am always amazed by the skill of the photographer not to objectify (which is hard since photography, by nature, objectifies), but to some how show us a compassionate viewpoint - to really make us feel it, to almost seem as if she is standing up for the girl.
Lange's work is powerful. I agree with you, Melissa, about her thoughts on viewpoint.
never saw this shot. so interesting. very lovely and sad, even without the context we understand.
The series of images from which this photo is taken is powerful.
