147 Help Wanted



This photograph is not about technique. As unemployment is rising, this mirrors the conditions and increasing uncertainty of our economy. Today, as the 44th president of the United States, Barack Obama, was inaugurated we are filled with new hope and excitement for our future. (20 of 365)

  6. A very bleak picture, indeed.

    But, as you suggest, hopefully not indicative of the future.

  8. I too was glued to the TV today. Hopefully all our aspirations will become reality and next year that sign will have Tele #'s to call. Well done.
