I ran this through Photoshop and it really enlightened the scene. <br /><br />The filtered sunlight evident in the background, and on clothing, tosses the indoor studio out the window. I goofed with my initial comment " staged photo shot in a studio". What I'd I meant to say "staged photo in an outdoor studio setting". (wished there was a brain check as well as a spell check in MS word)~<br /><br /><br />And check out the whiskey drinkin' gal a little closer. Her pal to her immediate left has a death grip on Miss Mollies shoulder to keep her from passing out and landing on the British dandies boots. <br />Kentucky Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16201818884914482275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842291092692051858.post-13188718282886967712014-05-06T07:21:46.798-07:002014-05-06T07:21:46.798-07:00Not a staged photo.

There is just not enough landscape showing to pin-point the location on the road.<br /><br />The gal on the right looks like she had more than one bottle of whiskey.California Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772286674436000608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842291092692051858.post-58708889657260367692014-05-03T08:12:21.190-07:002014-05-03T08:12:21.190-07:00Interesting photo.

But there are no reels on the rods or in the photo. <br /><br />The male on the left is dressed in formal British style, replete with tie and a pith helmet. Fishing attire?<br /><br />The ladies and children are dressed in their Sunday best. <br />Fishing attire?<br /><br />Just 3 glasses? <br /><br />Check out the facial expression on the gal on the right. My money's on her being the whiskey drinker~.<br /><br />Seven people but a 4 person capacity spring wagon?<br /><br />Could this have been a staged photo shot in a studio?<br />Kentucky Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16201818884914482275noreply@blogger.com
