Georgia O’Keeffe

Yousuf Karsh, 1956

“I decided to photograph her as another friend had described her: ‘Georgia, her pure profile calm, clear; her sleek black hair drawn swiftly back into a tight knot at the nape of her neck; the strong white hands, touching and lifting everything, even the boiled eggs, as if they were living things - sensitive slow-moving hands, coming out of the black and white, always this black and white.’  This portrait hangs in her Abiquiu home, now a museum operated by the Georgia O’Keeffe Foundation.”

excerpts from a book I’ll never write

[dreaminginthedeepsouth]

The late 1800s and early 1900s were periods of profound change, with the Industrial Revolution reshaping economies, societies, and lifestyles. Urbanization surged as people migrated from rural areas to cities in search of work and new opportunities. This shift led to the development of infrastructure, such as roads and public transportation systems, that facilitated movement and connected communities like never before. The unpaved street depicted in the photograph represents a transitional moment; while many streets were still unpaved, the burgeoning transportation networks would soon revolutionize travel.

Bicycles played a crucial role in this transformation, becoming symbols of freedom and mobility during the 19th century. With the introduction of the safety bicycle in the 1880s, cycling surged in popularity, providing individuals with an affordable means of transportation. Women, in particular, embraced cycling as it afforded them greater independence and mobility, challenging traditional gender roles in the process. The sight of people riding bikes in the photograph reflects this newfound liberation and the societal shifts that accompanied it.

Hot air balloons, meanwhile, captured the imagination of the public, representing the adventurous spirit of exploration and the quest for flight. The first successful human flight in a hot air balloon took place in 1783, and by the late 19th century, ballooning had evolved into a popular recreational activity. Events like balloon races and exhibitions drew crowds, fostering a sense of wonder about the possibilities of human flight. The presence of a hot air balloon in your photograph serves as a metaphor for the optimistic vision of the future that many people shared during this time. It signified not just technological progress but also the aspiration to transcend earthly limitations.

I've got news for Mr. Santayana: we're doomed to repeat the past no matter what. That's what it is to be alive.” ― Kurt Vonnegut

For old times sake is actually such a heartbreaking and beautiful sentiment. Like, let’s do it for the love that used to be there. It is reason enough.
