If: A Father's Advice to His Son

(4) K-3 Photographs by Charles R., Jr. Smith. Employing sports as a metaphor for life, Smith illustrates Kipling's poem with impressive photographs of young male athletes. For example, "If you can wait / and not be tired by waiting" is accompanied by a ground-level view of a crouched runner anticipating the starting gun. The photographs (some a bit fuzzy) use distinctive lighting and perspectives for drama.
