Howdy, I'm a regular lurker in here and I don't want to see this forum go away. Here is a site that I found while surfing a few days ago. I'm no expert, but these images remind me of some of the old FSA photos that I have seen. Does anyone else think so, or am I losing my mind?

Thanks, Keith

I don't know (?) what FSA is, but I sure like that site. Thanks Keith...

Welcome to the other side:)

FSA=Farm Security Administration. Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange (and others) worked for FSA documenting the effects of the Great Depression.

Keith, you're not losing your mind (at least the resemblance you see between Ainsley's work and the FSA photos isn't evidence of it). I think the similarity is more in the content than the personal style of the photographer. Excellent stuff.
