The house in which the picture is placed is super modern, clean, architectural and the epitome of gentrification into a previously quite poor street filled with lower-middle class, largely latino, families. This photograph, framed, probably came out of the trash. I don't know this to be true. Given where it rests today, it could also have been a gift from someone in the family depicted in the picture as they moved away from the neighborhood. None of this really matters because the image itself, and the decision to rescue the image are the point of this exercise in further documenting the photograph and presenting it on the dA platform. The image started with one intention, extended beyond that intention (largely by force of the personalities that come through the image), then became an artifact of a neighborhood and of a time and place in Los Angeles for a family that clearly has run past this image completely, then the image grew into a presentation piece to a different segment of society and now is raised, in part, as an example of the kinds of social ephemera we are willing to preserve.

But the cool part for me is that the picture still stands on its own without any baggage. Put it up anywhere and people will give it a look.
