Posture Photos~~the Measure of a (Wo)Man

This article intrigued me as it is now 13 years
later and people who were photographed have
settled into endeavors which I feel it would be
interesting to compare and see if the implications
that all these people followed directives without

Are those who were photographed those who are
speaking for us?? If so, we may need to speak up
for ourselves.

An interesting read at the very least...
