Women in Trees

“I love pictures that aren’t perfect, that I know nothing about,then, stories immediately being developing in my mind. For me, the women happen to be taking a Sunday walk with their partners. They are well dressed, look happy, and some of them seem to be really in love. These are young people who went off with a camera, clowned around, and captured their happiness in a snapshot.”

Jochen Raiß (1969-2022), a photo editor based in Hamburg, Germany, found most of the vintage photos in flea markets, scanned them and published his collection in a book Women In Trees (2014).

This is the 800th edition of the .Gif Friday Post, and that means there are approximately 2.4K embedded .gif animations in The Archives. It all began with this:

Some of the old .gifs stutter or freeze and no longer animate properly and I blame WordPress. Perhaps I’ll suss out the problem some day.
Or not.

Radiology Pron

These radiology techs were obviously having some break-time fun, but I think the xrays are of a woman not pictured.
