Biographical note: In the summer of 1939, Works Projects Administration (WPA) photographer and artist Charles C. Foster was assigned to take photographs for Florida Writers Project (FWP) writer Veronica Huss' profile of the "Conchs" (Bahamian immigrants) of Riviera Beach. Armed with his Reflex-Korelle single-lens camera and four rolls of 12 exposure black and white film, Foster spent the day photographing Veronica and her subjects - immigrants from the Bahamas, who were derisively referred by locals as "Conchs." While the book was never published, the WPA's Florida Art Project used the images for a traveling exhibit titled "Conch Town" that toured the nation between 1939 and 1943.

They say "Laughter is the best medicine". There is research now to show that.
Today is World Laughter Day; so spare some time, read jokes and laugh for once; it's good for health.
for world laughter day a friend briar organised a clownathon through the city for world laughter day. pretty funny sight really.
At the World Laughter Day event. Amidst fits of laughter at the sheer absurdity of getting in a big group of mostly strangers to just laugh and laugh, laugh at each other and at the sky - I did reach my little pocket cereal box camera above my head and snapped a shot.
