Jeremy Osborn4/10 from my series of 19th century photos
This light-leaked image is as much a portrait of the anonymous photographer as it is of the couple.
Consider the skewed angle/position of the camera, the haphazard outdoor composition, the newspaper casually tossed on the ground.
In my imagination, these are the photographer's parents indulging in their son's new passion on an early summer night in New England.
