Moving Day, Pease Air Force Base, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, 1956 Reed shot this image for Life to illustrate a story on how the Air Force aids the families of its personnel. While documenting the relocation of a family, his eye was caught by this young boy on a tricycle making lazy circles around the gas station next door. The image captures perfectly the sense of transition--a country on the move--that pervades so much of Reed's work.
