Favorite Photo

From the gallery "Documenting the Blues in the Mississippi Delta", my favorite picture was "Shine and Sam Carr. Dundee, Miss. 2001." I think this picture is interesting because they're both having fun playing guitar. It looks like something that brings them together and spend quality time with one another. It seems like the man on the right is teaching his son how to play. It's cool how traditions and cultures are being passed down so they will never be forgotten.
