Wayne Miller David in Robot Costume. Orinda, California. 1956.
“My brother David was always building things. Here he is off to the school bus wearing his latest creation, a robot, made of cardboard, silver pai
(...) nt and tubing. Once inside the costume it took considerable family effort to attach working arms. He showed off his costume that day at the school’s Halloween Day parade.
It was quite normal for Dad to follow David to school with a camera around his neck. He shadowed his four children frequently for three years as part of his photo project that appeared in his 1958 book, The World is Young. Dad thought the life of children was quite different from the life of adults—he hoped to share what it looked like through photographs.”
