This is one of my favorite postcards. The scanner really did a lousy job because it didn't know how to deal with the contrast between the matt paper and the piece of transparent film, but I can tell you that it looks great in real life. The photo reminds me of old pictures of my grand parents working in the fields, and the questions and puzzling faces leave it open to a whole bunch of interpretations. Svenja, thank you!

Missed this, just came across it ... and I love it -- the subtleties, the expressions, and Svenja's questions/exclamation.  Great piece, Svenja ~

Its the sort of picture that should NOT be clear :-) X

I'm glad you like it too, even with the bad scan!

I saw it among her pictures, left a comment, and the week after it was in my mailbox! Lucky!

an ether, oh yes, I haven't thought about that but for sure.

O - you've showed this? Or did Svenja?  Its a real FAB. What, Why, No. Difficult but easy to read - AND then to misinterpret and/or ignore in the real world - and ether for that matter  - lucky you :-) X

I love the dreamy old photos.  They make me forget that people lived in color back then.
