About this work

This photo shows a group of people gathered near a rocky hillside. Two adults sit on the ground, talking to two children who kneel in front of them. One child holds a cloth, while another leans on a large jar. Two more adults stand nearby, dressed in long coats with hoods. The scene looks like a quiet moment by a spring, with dry grass and rocks around them. The title at the bottom reads *"Lootering at the Spring."* That word suggests they might be collecting water or plants, not stealing—just daily life near a water source. If you like this kind of photography, check out Edward S. Curtis (American, 1868–1952) for more work.
