Question:I can't remember the name of this photo or the name of the photographer......I know :).........but it's in black and white and it's a picture of 2 children, walking through a garden, toward the light. The children are a boy and a girl and are both under 3 years old. Thank you!

Walk To Paradise Garden, W. Eugene Smith. Taken during his recuperation from wounds suffered on the battlefield during WWII. It was feared that he would never be able to use a camera again.

Walk To Paradise Garden was chosen to be the last image in the Family of Man exhibition and book.

Smith later exposed the mercury poisoning of the residents of the Japanese fishing village Minamata.
