This Photo Perfectly Expresses My Life's Start



I've been sporadically trying to find this photo for years, but because I didn't know who took it, I didn't know where to look. Nevertheless, I saw it fly past on a display at the De Young Museum on Saturday, and finally tracked it down. Garry Winogrand took this photo in Albuquerque in 1957, and even though that's not me in the photo, I am almost precisely this kid's age. It expresses perfectly the time and place when my parents first put down roots.
