Cool.  I'll hafta check that out when Mr LM is home with his computer. Mine is old and hopeless with loading pictures.
 
 I'd love to see LIFE The Family of Man series.  I looked at the books for hours...and hours when I was a kid.  The books were printed in the 1960s and I think they're old and out of print today.  Maybe if I'm lucky the VPL has a copy.

I've always thought these were the weirdest pictures ever....even before I ever heard of such a notion as conspiracy theories (and even before I saw Capricorn One....lol).  I didn't get why the flag had no shadow or that it was blowing in the wind.  I was big in to art and paid attention to details such as those.....and they didn't work.

  [img id=hife-img style="WIDTH: 394px; HEIGHT: 325px" height=505 alt="" src="vny!://tbn0.google.com/hosted/images/c?q=05ee7baf72a9ed3d_landing" width=600]

  This one is off as well....the shadow of the photographer reflecting in his mask, isn't wearing a space suit....and again....reflection of other space guy  has no shadow at all.  Subjects shadow goes off to the side, while photograpers shadow is long out behind him.  They just don't make any sense.  They're not even subtle errors.

I miss him too.

  Lil Me....I'm going to have a look in my storage today....because there used to be a huge book, that came in it's own box...and I believe it was a special edition of The Family of Man.  I'm having a slight recollection that it may have gone to the Sally Ann on one of my ruthless clean-out phases.
