    Can you help me name this pix?

    Photo is of a White supremest / Nazi enthusiast taken in the early 1970's in L.A. It is not staged.



    This pix is going to be in a book I'm making about Hollywood, L.A. 1970's. Also going in the permanent collections of various museums in the US and Europe. Here are some of the names I came up with.

    'Jews to Blame'
    'Black Nazi`
    'Who's to Blame'
    'The Blame Game'
    'Outraged'
    'L.A. Nazi'
    'Nazi Devotee'
    'White Power in Black and White'
    'L.A. Nazi in Her Bedroom'

    Let me know which ones appeal to you...or feel free to suggest your own name.

    I decided to make the person anonymous. One rule I have with my photography is I try never to hurt anyone. Since this is such an inflammatory topic I was not comfortable broadcasting this person around the world. So, I went in the direction of anonymity.

    I like 'Jews to Blame'. But am afraid it might wrongly be thought that I endorse that notion if I use it. So, blast away with any names you think might be apropos - I appreciate the input.

    mmm, such a sad and controversial topic :-(

    What about "an ideology to forget"...

    Jews to blame is the first title I thought of before seeing your suggestions.

    what's the deal with the processing here? Is for anonymity?

    I'd tend to go a bit different with something like:
    'who's to blame?' which is a play on words and a statement to get people thinking.
