btw, this is a photo of a barcode, right? a hidden suggestion that bar charts of scores do not belong on photographs, since there were no barcodes in the 50s, right?

It was Richard Yates, and damn that book was depressing.

Wonderful setup. What brings it home are the colors - great work.

This was one of my favorites, sometimes I'm thankful just to see something different! I love all the period elements, but they don't seem crammed in or overdone. Beautiful model, too. A small anachronism: the barcode on the bottle. Nice work.

This is an extraordinarily well done period piece that was vastly underrated. VERY nice!

Comment by ubique:
I hardly ever like staged photographs which is why I am so much taken with this one ... it first had to overcome my prejudices, and it did! I like it so much because it is such a wonderful little story. I think it's about rebellion. All the small icons of her time and her place are there; the baking stuff, the appliances, the phone, the pop, the dress, her grooming and of course the apron. She is the perfect vision of an idealized life. And yet, there is a tiny hint of something else; some simmering insurrection. There's a tiny wicked smile at her lips, and there's the slightly racy stockings. I wonder who she's calling. Probably not Dexter (or whatever hubby's name is). So I like it for all that and for its echoes of Frank Yates's Revolutionary Road. 10, and the Order of the Thumb:
