He was on a dirt baseball diamond behind a church in a small town in Ohio-a location we won’t name. Call up some GPS data, and you can learn where the boy was playing. As the shutter clicked, the time was 7:15 p.m. We can see that the picture is about a year and a half old the boy’s game took place on June 6, 2018. But download the file and click through some menus, and you can learn a lot. There is no caption, and few visual cues as to where or when the picture was captured. He is partly in shadow, but his face is outlined in sharp silhouette against the sky. The boy stands at home plate in his Little League uniform, bat poised above his shoulder. There’s a particularly arresting black-and-white image of a boy on Flickr, the photo-sharing site.
