Day 11:
I liked this photo a lot. Mostly because it is taken moments before chaos ensued, which I have learned in many a photography class is called a decisive moment. I wonder if Virginia knew the picture was being taken? Did Gramma know Virginia was back there?
I also like that Gramma is basically wearing my high school uniform. :)
I have soooo many memories of trips to the original Disneyland in California. Who knows which trip these tickets came from. My mom loved the Disneyland train, and the goofy guy running it and the funny monologue he delivered as you rode around the park. She repeated lines from it often, thought it was so funny, all the lame puns and so forth. I wouldn't be surprised if that was why she saved these, because they reminded her of that ride and those fun times.
Awesome photo! It is wonderful because you can read all sorts of things into it, like: how does this illuminate the relationship between my mother and her much-younger sister? Was the original intent for this to be just a photo of my mom and Virginia decided to grab the spotlight for herself? And the basic differences in their demeanor are clear, my mom with her cheesecakey pose and pointed toe, Ginny more gregarious and tomboyish. This looks like the backyard of the house on Ohio Street in Corpus.
