Daily Photo – Reading in the Park

I was recently playing at scanning some of my black and white negatives and came across this charming image I took some time late in 1998. It’s a sunny but chilly day, most likely a Sunday, and these three ladies are all engrossed in their books. You can tell it’s an ‘old’ photo as no-one has a smartphone! Take that same image today and probably two of the three would be reading on their phones. I’m struck at how most of the people you can see relatively clearly in the image have their right leg crossed over their left but the couple in the background almost center of the frame have their left legs crossed over their right.
