Bauernkinder. Westerwald, ca 1927/28
Farm children
Two kids, a sheep.
All of them looking straight into the camera.
Nothing to say about the sheep.
The boy,
his gaze,
a mixture of pride, sadness and adult like scepticism.
The girl,
her gaze,
a shy smile,
shadows under her eyes,
looking tired.
Fashion changes,
society changes,
but the emotions expressed by us,
they stay the same.
