This image could have just as easily been made in 1908 as in 2008. The team of horses, the vintage wagon, the 19th century costumes of the women who tend them, and the setting itself, are historically appropriate. To make it look as much like a vintage photograph as possible, I even gave it a copperish sepia tone. The costumed women and their wagon team were there to greet groups of school children touring the historic ruins of a local flour mill. Even the rolling farmland in the background plays its part – it stands virtually unchanged over the years. By making this image from a distance, the women become anonymous. When we try to imagine what they might look like, we can only think of them as women of the past, rather than of the present day.
