This Is My Album

Did this attractive young woman buy this elegant album especially for this and other photos like it? It seems that she thought it was important enough that she has dragged a piece of furniture with its fashionable covering out into the yard to show it off!

She looks straight into the camera, hand on hip, with a confidence that suggests she is a woman with certain positive ideas and spontaneous intentions; we can imagine that she may have been more interesting to know than she was comfortable to have as a friend.

Clearly, getting this particular picture is what she wanted – taking time to sweep up the debris on the ground just isn’t "in the picture” (though, of course, it is literally “in” the picture). Another key consideration in getting a good portrait – choosing an attractive outdoor background – was also not a prime consideration. But it is an amusing and memorable pose!
