tennis group 1914
Don't mean to sound naive but when I see pictures like this it just blows my mind. There is an almost unreal sense of content and normalcy here. How does anything bad happen to anyone in this picture? These aren't people in a hopeless war or fending off radical revolutionaries, this is a happy picture of people living in the Midwest or something. Their biggest drama is family illness or whether they're voting for Wilson or Hughes in the upcoming election while they work at diners, or gas stations, or maybe (at most) hold fancy jobs in town.
Tatiana by the way looks amazing here in her simple little pose. Such a princess always!
