There's got to be a story for this cyanotype, but I don't know what it is. Any ideas?

From Mike Brubaker:
Every Saturday, Earl stops by Mrs. Blair's boarding house with his shoeshine kit. Mr. Hansen likes to gets his best shoes shined before hitting the town that night. Sometimes the Weber sisters come out for a smoke. Today he brought his brother Lester along so he could practice with his camera. Lester thinks he can make money taking photos of the tourists who stay at the boarding houses. Earl thinks that's foolish as most tourists don't have much money and a lot are sick with consumption. Lester made a couple of prints but no one ever bought any. They sat in his desk drawer for years until his nephew sold them to an antique dealer.

Looks almost like a painting. I find the poses of the two ladies intriguing and inscrutable.
