Took this on Alcatraz Island. Not much else to say really. Blurred the background a bit, desaturated and used curves.

Chris,
Strange thing about your title, it appears that the person on the far right is from the U.K. I think his hat reads product of the "United Kingdom just visiting Alcatraz".
You must have seen them on the plane. ;)
Seriously, it does appear that this family is of Hispanic origin, maybe citizens or naturals but it doesn't matter. I guess I just don't get the purpose of this photo. What are you trying to depict here? It's not much more than a B&W snapshot.

Sometimes photographs aren't beautiful but are a social commentry, this is one. Very well observed and with todays debate about consummerism very valid. It may tread on some toes but that does not make it less valid. Well done

Hi Chris

A really interesting shot.
