My Mother's Hat

Posted by
Elaine Hancock (Olney, United States) on 29 September 2016 in People & Portrait.

When my sister and I were cleaning out my parent's house in 2013, we found this old suitcase filled with hats that my mother used to wear. My sister was trying them on and I took this picture. She would kill me if she knew I posted it here!

It's a lovely portrait Elaine.... I love the partial smile and the mood she portrays. It works well in b/w also. Very nice!

It must have been a good time for you and your sister to see all of these hats and reminisce about the years gone by. A great smile captured of your sister!!

I'll try to keep my attention on the hat and not your sister. A fine hat.
