At the moment, I am out of country and the Internet is somewhat far from me to reach very often.
I am a bit late in adding this essay series.

I have a vivid memory of having seen this exhibition.
I still remember the face of a man playing a wind pipe with a soft felt hat in the exhibition.
I think the picture was the main theme of the exhibition.
Just like this picture, the pictures in the exhibition were mostly in black and white.

I don't even remember if color photo were available then.
Then, I had a Cotax camera that was my father's.
I was deeply interested in taking pictures as well.

Having realized that my reality was not compatible to it,
I had not pursued photography any further.
But it remained as my hobby for the rest of my life,

I found Edward Steichen's Photographic Exhibition
- "The Family of Man" on Youtube;

And
Here is Biography of Edward Steichen (1879-1973);

Thanks for these photo classics we saw nearly 60 years ago.
A few of them can still bring back my faint memories.
