    Lovely image. So sad you but you just wouldn't feel comfortable taking this picture now...more innocent times.

Carneddog and his wife, Catrin, before leaving their mountain farm in Snowdonia

    The image of the farmer-poet Carneddog and his wife, Catrin, who were forced to leave their farm in the Carneddau Mountains due to the death of one of their sons, is Geoff Charles’ most recognised work, and one of the most well-known 20th century Welsh images. Being too old to look after the farm themselves, Richard and Catrin Griffith left the home that had been in their family for centuries in September 1945 to live with another son in the English midlands.

    I'd bet a latte that the titles are taken word-for-word from the captions each photo was assigned at the time it was taken (or at the very least, when they were processed into the collection at the LoC). I doubt it'll come as a newsflash to anyone that things were a bit different in 1942 than they are in 2008...

    Doh! Of course, you're right!

    The photographer is amazing... each shot is composed like a Vermeer There is that same sense of concentrated purpose, although its clearly very posed. Just lovely.
