That woman has some man hands.
What is that little tower thing in the background?
It’s funny to me that they would take some chairs outside to sit and pose, why not just stand?
1904 in Dagestan, did they still have the old "5min exposure" cameras?
Yeah that occurred to me. Still funny to see these chairs in these old photographs, in places which must have seemed even to them at the time as out of place.
I guess I kinda just always figure the house is just off camera, like behind the camera man or 30ft to the right. It does look silly though lol.
