Nancy and Betty Debenham, well-known motorcyclists, riding BSA bikes with their dog, 1925.
There's something about this photo....the momentum, the unsaid words, the shared smiles, rain, their outfits. The breathing of time ;)
What do we say when we're not talking? Well, we share a moment in space and time and if we're lucky enough like these two amazing women, someone is gonna snap a timeless photo.
In two words...Time Travel.

Anna Mackinnon might appreciate this.
ReplyDeleteHappily, in French we use the genre for the nouns, we would write des motardes (and 'motards' for men) and everyone shall know that they are women !
