    Series Titile: Scene at the brown paper inn A picture is worth a thousand words, right? Well, there's a full story or two hidden in this group of photos. What story do you cipher?

    I wonder how many of the boys made it through the war?

    The two guys in the foreground are brothers, I'll bet.

    An orchestra of two. How minimalist.

    Looks like it is quite literally "wall paper."

    Title: The accused Is this a joyful occasion? Seems pretty tense to me!
  • artpease said:
    The 'host' might also be the 'caller' the one who cued the dancers to the next steps [swing your partner, do-si-do, allamende left, grand right and left, etc.]

    Exceopt for one image in this series, this is not square dancing. Just good "ole" country "two steppin".
  • artpease said:
    I think you are right. Could be a 'round dance' at a square dance. The guy in the back is sweaty because he has just danced for a while - he didn't come that way.
  • Wade Harris said:
    I bet he didn't get another dance after that!! hehe Interesting series; I wonder why the pinkish hue of these photos from Oklahoma during this time? I'm suspecting that perhaps the roll of film (if it was medium format or 35mm) may have been subjected to heat, which can definately affect the color of the film.
