Thanks John. No real story. I was in college driving around the foothills of Upland, Ca, when I chanced upon a group of citrus pickers by the road on the edge of an orchard. I pulled over, hopped out and snapped a few. It was a very cold morning.

Man, this was posted over a year ago ... lol.

A stunning photo.

Thank you Canadianme. I've always felt compelled to look/stare at the eyes ... wondering how I would have felt if we were to trade places.

excellent shot Gary, reminds me of photos of the great depression era.

It is a rare photo that captures a look so hauntingly genuine, yes you are right it does make you wonder. It is one of the rare photos I think is genuinely timeless. Reminds of works by Diane Arbus, Bruce Davidson, Walker Evans, etc. It holds up to what I consider the best photographs, just a timeless classic. When I see a photo such as yours, they make me curious to what happened to them, it provokes curiosity. A true test of a great photograph in my eyes.

I've been to Europe and Germany many times ... I lived in Paris for a short time. I like you Bavarians much better than the average Parisian. I've even owned a few BMWs ...

Ever been to California?
