Okay, what exactly are "first person" photographs?

The project is great, but the selection seemed a little thin. This page is the beginning of a much wider selection of the same project.

Thanks for finding that, letitrain.

Just wonderful.

In the montage on the first page of the Bread and Roses link, does anyone recognize the very dignified-looking elderly black woman with braids? I'm sure I've seen that photograph before, and I can't for the life of me remember who she is.
