Comments:
Shall we assume this is a couple? Is this a motel? Are they staying here? Perhaps they traveled to attend a wedding or something? Whatever the situation, I love the way the slight angle of the shot and the perspective of the receding background make this otherwise simple image look dynamic.
They’re certainly glamorous! Did the expression “power couple” exist in ’68? 😀
I don’t know if it did, but it seems they would fit the bill.
It looks like a Washington, DC scandal! Maybe I’m just thinking that because the lady’s dress looks so Jackie Kennedy-inspired. Speaking of DC, it’s nice to see a man with a tie tied at a normal length.
Ha! Yes, I know what you mean. It’s likely to be a perfectly innocent situation, but it’s not hard to read scandal into it.
