A fortuitous accident led to this double exposure of a young girl in a white dress in front of a white wooden fence in front of a house with storybook shutters and climbing morning glories. This is one of my favorite photographs in my entire collection. It so surreal, and so evocative.
In the main exposure she smiles, with her arms at her sides; in the double-exposure she’s smiling just a bit less, and it looks like her hands are on her hips -- tired of being photographed? The focus of the original is soft, the image very light and ethereal. It always reminds me of “To Kill a Mockingbird.”
Date unknown.
