Description
The Solomon Guggenheim Museum on New York City's Fifth Avenue was open barely a year when I took this photo in 1960. Whatever my camera was, I forget (after all I was just three weeks old) but it captured an image I've always liked, if I do say so myself. Look closely and you'll see a small child leaning over the ramp wall on the upper left, apparently trying to get the attention of the child on the lower right. Where are you both today, oh 60-plus year-olds?

This is an outstanding photo, Don. Fabulous artistic design quality that is timeless. Obviously!!! Bet today you see no hats and probably women in pants more than dresses; perhaps even ripped jeans. :-)
Don Struke replied:
Thank you, Sharon! If I may say so, even though I was quite lucky to get this shot with that artsy array of people and the near-perfect combination of pure white and dark lighting, it looks as good to me now as it did half a century ago. The presence of those two children is what makes this photo work, IMO.

Well, Happy Holidays to you, Xueling! Thank you for your comments. As you see in my caption I took this photo when I was three weeks old, 51 years ago. Yikes! (I particularly value your comments because of your own artistry.)
