Love Margie


I have no idea who this other than her name is Margie. I am going to guess it was a friend of my grandparents at Redford Union High School. But what I find amazing is how many of the rules for portrait photography still apply today. The way the body is positioned. The way the head is turned. Where the eyes are looks. They are all still strictly put in place to produce the perfect picture. Having worked in a photo studio for the past 3 years, I see this everyday. Now even though the positioning isn't perfect in this picture it comes pretty close. It's so cool that something so particular can remain so constant over so many years.
