Untitled
1957

A black and white photograph capturing a moment at a playground with five children. A boy is at the top of a slide, reaching for the metal arch, while a girl climbs the ladder behind him. Three girls stand on the ground, one watching the climber, another with her back turned to the camera, and the third looking off to the side with a hand on her hip. Trees and a cloudy sky form the background.
