A simple photo captured at precisely the right moment. The “decisive moment” as Henri Cartier-Bresson would say. You have to imagine the conversation which we say is: “Daddy, There’s A Pebble In My Shoe“; Oregon c.1942. We prefer the image with a slight sepia toning. I think the appeal is that in some ways it resembles a Norman Rockwell painting.
Section of the day force in a coal mine.
The collection of coal miner photos in this blog were taken from a panoramic image of the Day Force of a coal mine in East Gulf, West Virginia (1952). Taken as a whole it is an impressive image. Unfortunately, it does not work well with either DPI’s website nor this blog page. Hence it is represented in these four separate images.
The image presented in this blog is not available for licensing. We present it as an homage to Vietnam Era veterans, their families and to all who serve in harm’s way to protect our country.
