Sure, it's a photo with a lot going on, but for me the focus is that driver. Where is that driver going to take them and is it where they planned on going? I feel like I've stepped into an old 1940s British film and something mysterious is about to take place.

The only clue is the stamp on the back.
Another photo from the Betty Schnabel estate.

She's a celebrity alright, even looks a bit like the Duchess of Windsor. Maybe a press photo of A-list people attending a wedding. The address for the photographer is in a ritzy part of London, that I'm sure I've walked past when I live near there years ago. It's around the corner from Harrods and the other Kensington High Street stores. London fashion has changed but they still have drivers just like that.
ReplyDeletePerhaps those two got to ride in the car and the rest had to go on the bus in front of the car.
DeleteLove the Kensington High Street area. Only spent a week there and it was during a phone strike. I'd never heard of a phone strike before, but it had me running ragged all over town trying to find a phone that worked. I remember when the word went around at the hotel that there was one near the V&A that worked. The rush was on.
Oo! You're right! There is a story going on here. Someone has shouted a pointed question to the lady and while she routinely smiles, the gentleman proposes to answer with a routine sound bite. The other woman in the picture is grinning because she knows the REAL answer.
ReplyDeleteYes, I see it. The other woman is in on it.
