Today I reached a bit farther back in the shoebox and pulled this from 1945. I included the back of the photo because of the names and handwriting. Scanning the back of photos should not be forgotten...a lot of times there is crucial info for storytelling. Anyway, this is my mom, the oldest of 9 children, and her two sisters, who are now both deceased, Marianne and Therese. This photo was on super thin paper and very faded. I manipulated to give it a bit of contrast, but in all honesty for a photo that is almost 70 years old it was not looking too bad.
Notice the matching dresses and shoes - all three girls are dressed identically. I wonder how long my Grandma dressed them the same. Clearly a posed photo and all girls are looking at the photographer. It is fun to wonder what they were talking about or where this photo was taken. The bench and what looks like a backdrop lead me to believe a studio. Just for fun I also included the most popular camera from 1945 - probably what this photo was taken with!
