"Ladies in Waiting"























My grandfather enjoyed cameras. His diligence in posing his subjects - sunny face front - meant that his signature photo is the one with his shadow in the foreground.

This picture is of one of my favorite places: the view from my parents house. A friend of my sister's once took a picture of this same scene and entitled it, "Ladies in Waiting."

The camera was a mint green Imperial Mark XII Flash that is among the cameras my grandfather collected over a lifetime of photographic developments.
