April 2011 Black and white photograph. The year is 1953. The setting is outdoors on a sidewalk with a manicured lawn in the background. There are trees in the distance and cars from that era parked to the side. A white boy in a wheel chair appears in the foreground. His back is to the photographer, and he holds a camera to his eye. Two men dressed as the Lone Ranger and Tonto are standing in front of the boy. The Lone Ranger is looking skyward above the boy's head. Tonto is staring at the boy's camera.

March 2011 Black and white photograph. The setting appears to be a chemical laboratory from the 1940s or 1950s. There are flasks, jars, vials, and machinery in the room consistent with a lab from that era. A white man wearing glasses, rolled up sleeves, a tie, and gray pants is staring at the photographer. His hair rises oddly on the right side. He has a straw in his mouth which is connected to a lab bottle with a long circular tube dangling towards the floor.

Lining up behind the van are Six smiling white men dressed in long sleeve shirts with ties.

January 2011 Black and white photograph. A smiling white man with mustache in a Canadian Yukon uniform holds an open book while sitting on a hospital bed next to a white boy lying down. They are both looking at the camera. The man is smiling and the boy has a serious look on his face. A second white boy in another bed leans over in interest. The head of the beds are against a wall on opposite sides of a window with closed blinds.
