It's 1964, and an Election in Detroit is in progress. If you read the sign to the left of the man's head, the building is a Fallout Shelter. It's a term I had forgotten.

Hope no one will ever have to use such a shelter Doug. Nice and interesting shot.

Perhaps the fallout shelter is for broken presidential election promises Doug. He looks like a "Goldwater Man," to me.
I absolutely love your shots from your newspaper days.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I recall the drills we used to do in school. As if they were really going to save us. Thanks for sharing, Doug.

Oh I remember those signs very well, the B&W treatment is perfect. I can still remember that someone back in the day had a underground shelter placed in the front side yard. tigs=^..^=

Headlines in the news reads "Sitting President Johnson wins a landslide victory over Republican challenger Barry Goldwater in the 1964 presidential election." Lots of changes happened in the year 1964. The movie, Stanley Kubrick�s dark comedy, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb premieres. The film satirizes Cold War politics, playing upon American anxieties and changing attitudes towards nuclear warfare. What a time to be a photojournalist. Good picture that conjures up the past.

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
