6 Many adjustments were needed to make each picture perfect. Mole had to pay close attention to detail and consider all the minute parts within his patriotic images. Because of this, participating in one of Mole's pictures was a time-consuming experience. People had to wait patiently for everyone to be positioned just right. When Mole photographed living art of the Statue of Liberty at Camp Dodge in Des Moines, Iowa, it was a very warm day, but many of the men in the photograph wore heavy wool coats to represent the dark colors of the statue. Some fidgeted as they waited because it was difficult to stand still for such a long period of time. Others fainted in the heat of the day.



7 Despite these physical challenges, Mole's work is fondly remembered by those who contributed to his art. One soldier recalled that though participating in the formation of the image was only a temporary activity, he and other soldiers were honored to be part of something that allowed them to demonstrate their patriotism in a lasting way.
