Rob, by colorization of the young Stinking Creek mountain child in the center of this family portrait, you've placed him in the center of the attention. Think it's a proper choice, because of his priceless stance of amazement. It's an intriguing capture, because I still have to guess what was the reason for the expression on the faces of all three of them. Excellent work again and a very valuable addition for the 'stepping out of time' series!

Their mother would have loved your colorization Rob.
She wanted them to look their best - I notice how their hair looks freshly washed the wee one on the left has a neat parting.The are very deep in thought about something :) Probably the photographer

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Such an impressive capture, colors selected perfect, quite interesting, the children's faces have an expression that makes one curious.

Like the other commentors, I, too, am drawn to their expressions, as though even at this very young age they're having to grow up a little faster than normal. I see expressions like these on the faces of adults who've been around long enough to be concerned about their lives' directions. while the youngest on the far left may be exhibiting s part in her(?) hair, the other two have hair like I would have had at that age (if I hadn't had a permanent flattop, that is). I'm guessing the part in the little one's hair was a quick spread momma put in there, because of the sudden appearance of a photographer, otherwise if she'd had time she'd have switched the soiled clothes of all three for clean ones... after all, who knows who may see this photo, right? If any of these three are still alive today, they'd be in their 80's and the idea that many people today would be seeing their casual and short Kentucky dalliance with a pretty lady with a camera, would likely have been incomprehensible. Look closely at the background in the linked photo and you'll see these same three tykes being photographed by Marion. Then compare the backdrop of this photo selection of Rob's with the real background behind the kids,to see the home they live in. It tells me that our young Marion was not opposed to using a much poorer backdrop for her subjects to emphasize and possibly exaggerate the severity of their economic conditions. That house of theirs looks well kept and their clothes belies the house. Just something to consider when one is deconstructing the information created by elements in an old photo.
