Yeah. They have a 1/2 size wall that travels around the country. This was shot on a football field in Manteca. It seems to
bring some of the same emotion than the real wall gets in Washington DC.

A very emotional shot. Great composition and tones. It's perfect black and white. I think in colour, the photograph may lose a lot of its impact and feeling.

You really do nail it when you snap a photo - I'm impressed again with the timeless feel - regardless of styles of dress, this could be a young girl grieving for someone whose loss for her is as real as yesterday.

Wow, a very touching moment. as said above, this might just eb the decisive moment and you can feel the
uneasiness and sadness the girl has.

Henri Cartier-Bresson might refer to this as a decisive moment. Great capture.
