This is a picture I took on a rainy Sunday at the Lincoln Memorial. Daughter Wendy and I went downtown for a photo shoot, it got canceled because of the downpour. We spent the rest of the afternoon at the Lincoln and Vietnam Memorials.For 'people-shooting', the Lincoln Memorial is great. Everyone is looking at Abe, taking pictures - no one is paying attention to anyone else.
I knew I had a good shot when I saw these youngsters walk over and start reading the Address. Their small size, the converging lines, and the raincoats all contribute to the grandeur and awe of the moment, along with the placing of my semi-transparent photo of Lincoln that I Photoshopped in.
(A copy is now hanging at the Library of Congress in DC).
