and today, a picture
i like pictures as writing prompts – they are worth a thousand words a piece after all! that’s alot of words! so how’s this?…
it’s eleanor roosevelt and marion dickerman, circa 1935, in the white house master bedroom. they looked unimpressed i think. just imagine what they were talking about?!?!
photo cred goes to the white house museum, for full post click, here

I believe it was the New York Times weekly magazine that had a regular feature, “What Were They Thinking?” on the last page of every issue. It would be a photo of a person or people caught in a moment by a camera, and then the subject(s) of the photo would explain what they had been thinking in the moment that the photo was taken. For example, one was a photo of a woman at a hairdresser and she explained it was the day of her daughter’s wedding and she had been thinking of an incident that happened when her daughter was a little child. I don’t know whether the NYTimes still publishes the magazine, or whether this feature is still included. It’s been quite a few years since I saw it.
thanks for the info Christina. i will have to look that up. i do love a little picture exploration, or as one of my favourite bloggers laineygossip calls it “photo assumption”
