But this one. This one makes me laugh because I imagine that he set this shot up to see what it was like to be “artistic.” That’s my mom, being (possibly) blinded by that refrigerator-based beacon (I don’t think late 1940s refrigerators came with that level of light inside so it feels like there was some level of planning and implementation to this.) There’s no negatives, no other similar photos that I can find. So this was the best one of the bunch? Or the only one?

No one knows and it doesn’t even matter.
