Wallace Kirkland (1891-1979) quickly became an outstanding nature photographer, which was perhaps a reflection of his having been born and raised on a coconut plantation in Jamaica. He possessed such a sense of wanderlust that he carried a slate on which he wrote his name, the town he was in, the hotel and, if there was space, the date, then hung it at the foot of the bed. Thus could he effect a swift and accurate orientation each morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adapted from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Great-LIFE-Photographers-Editors\/dp\/0316097934\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1EH15RRHPZHFO&amp;keywords=the+great+life+photographers&amp;qid=1570115481&amp;s=gateway&amp;sprefix=the+great+life+photogr%2Caps%2C142&amp;sr=8-1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Great LIFE Photographers<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n<blockquote id=\"single-block_5da0847004472\" class=\"single-image \">\n    <section>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" data=\"block-image\" data-id=5355851 desc=\"\" caption=\"People playing with a Ouija Board.
