Sabelle Morning's Cup

[asakiyume]

A friend (no longer on DW, apparently!) found this beautiful photo, part of Gordon Parks's "Segregated Story, 1956," and shared it with me. She said it reminded her of Pen Pal, and it did me, too.



(I’ve been setting out Sabelle Morning’s cup every night so it can catch the dawn light,)

The girl on the right could be Em; the girl on the left could be her sister Tammy; the house, if only it were floating, could be their house.

I love the photo. Gordon Parks's photos are all great.

What a beautiful photo, the colors are gorgeous. It does remind me of Pen Pal!

[asakiyume]

The colors are a marvelous combination of real and dreamlike.

What a great picture! And it reminds me of Pen Pal too, now that you mention it.

[asakiyume]

Isn't it great?

If you search on his name, you find lots of beautiful work.

And your commenting made me remember the whole second half of the post, which I forgot to post, LOL. Coming up soon... (unless I forget again between now and hypothetical then).

What a beautiful photo. It's like a painting - just so perfectly composed.

Yeah--and unlike some of his photos, I think it *was* posed. I don't think he could have just stumbled upon this scene. But he had a great idea of what would be beautiful.
