Hey there I’m looking for a photo (B&W) I’d found online a while back, and can’t seem to re-find. My google-fu must be sadly lacking. It’s a picture of two men, I’m assuming brothers by their close resemblance. They look like, for want of a more polite term, inbred hillbillies, really chinless & slack-jawed. I think it was possibly one of those US Govt/ Dept of Interior-type documentary series? Like the depression photos, or the Okie ones I’ve seen. Hell, they may even have been Okies, but for some reason Appalachians keeps coming to mind (cue _Duelling Banjos_). The website I remember seeing it on seemed to treat it like a well-known shot, it was followed by that Mother/child Okie photo that’s also famous. Any ideas? Anyone with better search-engine skills? ---

The name of the photographer you might be looking for is Dorothea Lange, who took that famous picture of a [Migrant Mother](http://www.masters-of-photography.com/L/lange/lange_migrant_mother_full.html) and her children. ---

That’s the other photo I mentioned in my OP. I’ve looked into Lange, but it seems she did her work in California, and I can’t find the desired photo in any online portfolio of hers ---

Is [this](http://www.guardian.co.uk/gallery/image/0,8543,-10104347243,00.html) the one? They’re not American, but they’re definitely chinless and slackjawed. ---

Yes! That’s them. Thanks very much, **MagicEyes** But my sweet lord, was I ever wrong, it’s a recent photo - right in my back yard, too! _shudder_ I can feel my memory going, dave… ---

So, just to be absolutely clear: the photo in question turns out to \*\* not be of “inbred hilbillies”? \*\* Oh, dear, another stereotype bites the dust. ---

Another reason not to neuter your Kallikaks before they’re gene-tested. Some people , apparently, just need Extreme Makeover. ---

Oh, they’re inbred hillbillies, alright, just not _American_ hillbillies, as I’d previously thought. Oh, were you expecting an apology? ---

That used to be the first Google Image hit if you searched for “twins” with Moderate Safe Search “On”. With the safe search “off”, you got a set of stunning nude twin babes setting on a beach. Google Image search has evidently changed it’s search algorithm, now neither pic pops up under the same search. ---
