Twenty minutes on the bus to work in San Antonio. That not bad. Assistant to a prominent photographer, having more fun than the last three jobs rolled together. A bit of fashion work, but mostly shooting for home features in the Sunday papers. The dining room centerpiece needing to be dusted every other day, so a housewife glancing down as she peels her potatoes over newspapers spread out on the kitchen counter will think it’s an actual ladies’ shrimp salad luncheon with petit fours for dessert, not the staged kind.
1924 Spearman High School girls basketball team. Spearman, Hansford County, Texas. The girls are pictured in light-colored clothing with dark sashes and headbands. The headbands have the school mascot name “Lynx” across them. The coach of the team is a man who is pictured wearing a dark color suit.
