I am surprised that no one mentioned the look of the face of the boy on the left - priceless.

A conservative surrounded by two progressives.....see, we all can get along. Love the image.

Normally, combining black and white with color is a trite gimmick, a device that usually calls attention to a photograph's form at the expense of its content. However, in this case you use it to celebrate the very nature of color itself. That is what the image is all about -- incongruously bizarre wigs. Your combination of the two media here certainly stresses the point itself. And that is what expression is all about, Carol.

(Steven Spielberg used this same technique in the film "Shindler's List." It was a black and white movie, but in two scenes he kept a child's coat in color. In the first scene, she was a tiny figure being herded off to a concentration camp. In the next scene, we saw her pink coat, piled forlornly on a heap of other, black and white, coats. They were scenes that we will never forget, because of that use of color on a black and white image.)
