I often think about that when going through old family photos- all the people we have tucked away in boxes and albums, random people that shared a moment with us and are in our peripheral memories.

There's lots going on in the background -- I'm wondering about the horses on the lawn. Besides the background, this tells a lot about life on that date, such as the weather, the clothing of the period, cars, etc. And then your chosen model on the right: she doesn't like the rain. Look at her hunched shoulders! And the hat, probably for protection, seems to be hiding her. Despite all, I think it's a great photo! (And I think you should highlight it when you post for next week's SS, especially because you never (get to) highlight your own photos.)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-46632553266937523682010-07-17T22:08:21.070+01:002010-07-17T22:08:21.070+01:00Lovely mysterious shot.Lovely mysterious shot.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-31674406580293899002010-07-17T21:12:01.492+01:002010-07-17T21:12:01.492+01:00Apart from the thumb, I really like the compositio...Apart from the thumb, I really like the composition of the photo.
