EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Smugglers Ruse" takes us back to the era of California prohibition, circa 1930. The image showcases two brave prohibition agents standing on either side of a vehicle fuel tank, which served as a clever disguise for smuggling 250 bottles of tequila into the United States from Mexico. The intensity in their eyes reflects the determination with which these agents pursued their mission to combat illegal alcohol trade during this tumultuous period in American history. Their arrest of the two men involved in this audacious act is evidence of their unwavering commitment to upholding the law. The composition and lighting choices add depth and drama to this historical moment frozen in time. The stark contrast between light and shadow emphasizes both the secrecy surrounding these illicit activities and the bravery exhibited by those who fought against them. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded of how deeply ingrained alcohol has been in our society's narrative - its allure, its forbidden nature, and even its potential dangers. It serves as a powerful reminder that throughout history there have always been individuals willing to take risks for what they believe is right or profitable. "Smugglers Ruse" captures not only an intriguing slice of American history but also invites us to reflect on themes such as rebellion, temptation, justice, and perseverance.
