| Unidentified photographer Five children n.d. Gelatin silver print, snapshot 4 x 6 in. Private collection of Robert E. Jackson LL/117903 (Robert E. Jackson, 30 January 2022) To be a collector of snapshots is to be in a constant state of surprise. Surprise by what you see and surprise by what you respond to in a photo. I bought this photo yesterday because it just struck me as a great example of something so simple but so beautiful. And it also it is an example of what the snapshot does so well--capture a moment, not in a perfect way perhaps--but in a way which encapsulates the moment.
