I took this photo 50 years ago and am still sad when I see it.

I posted it in Facebook's Club of Black and White Photography and got almost 400 responses.

BTW, if you have a Facebook account, the daily work posted by other members (not me) blows my socks off. Maybe some of you would also enjoy it.

Today we see similar Poignant events with parent and children reunited after ICE separated them. Indeed this monkey reunion photo is the definition of Poignant and no words needed.

In old movies, we see street vendors and organ grinders and their pet monkeys... while in movies, it was also in real life, I recall that from my childhood.

ICE wouldn't be separating them if they didn't come into our homeland illegally.

Your uncalled-for response brings politics into a photography conversation.

My "uncalled for response" was in response to a post from dpullum. Do you consider his response "uncalled for"? If so why didn't you call him out? If not, I guess we know what this is about. How's this for an un called for response? MAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go somewhere else if you don't like it.
