Sorry Game
1989

A black and white photograph capturing a candid moment of three children at a picnic table with a checkered tablecloth. One child is in the foreground with their back to the camera, another sits cross-legged on the table looking curiously to the side, and the third lies on the bench with their feet up, gazing off into the distance. Various items are scattered on the table, including a board game, a soda can, snacks, and a book, suggesting a leisurely summer day. Trees and foliage softly blur in the background, enhancing the serene atmosphere.
