This looks like a modern version of Victorian post mortem photography. Guess which one is the corpse!

Do you ever wonder what these studio photographers are using to get the subjects attention, or lack thereof? Apparently the bright shiny object worked fine for the baby in the beret, but the adults...not so much. Was there a gecko on the wall that had them entranced? And if this is the shot they bought...what did they turn down?

The father looks to be dressed as a Quaker. The baby has a beret on so he may be French. I am a little confused about the mother though.

This effectually ends the 'do zombies really exist?' argument I think.

When I first saw this, I looked down to see in what country women wear hats like that, and . . . USA?!

Why is the mother wearing a 1940's boy's theater usher hat?

Ted said...

That's me and my family, be nice. My dad is the kindest "dood" you will meet, and he is not the walking dead. But I do have to agree about my mom's hat.

Why is she wearing what looks to be a 32d degree Scottish Rite cap? Women aren't in the Scottish Rite.

Bringing sexy back.

She could be a Co-Mason of high degree.

Ted,
I had to zoom on your father's face to see the humanity and kindness in his eyes. But at first he looks a bit, uh, gloomy ?
(I'm not sure to use the right word..)
Fantastic photo anyway, thanks for the sharing.

Milo.

Ted said...

Ya, he's not exactly comfortable having his photo taken. You should see the Glamour Shots my mom got him for his 50th...

Tony said...

Mrs. Walker is wearing a Imperial Russian Cap???
