Fourth of July picnic by Negroes, St. Helena Island, S.C. (LOC)

J. Colerangle said:
This is a beautiful photo.
Rob said:
One thing about these photos that strikes me: In the black (or "negro") photos, you get he sense that if you we're to stumble upon this gathering, you would most likely be welcomed. On the other hand the photos of the scowling, predominantly all-male "mountaineers," we'll, they don't seem like a very hospitable bunch.

This is a good picture, I like the layout of the photo. The lighting or lack there of makes it more subtle.
Rob said:
Notice all of the photos of this event are candids shot from a distance, as if the photographer did not want to intrude. A gesture of respect from a probable white photographer? Or was he just keeping his distance?
