Hey...Grandma?

I captured this shot in the summer of 96’. A friend and I were walking around Detroit and came across two people waiting for a bus along Woodward Ave. I set up my tripod and snapped the shot.

    I was curious when I saw the thumb but then when I opened it I was almost speechless. This is absolutely superb!!!! You captured sooooo much here. Then when I read your caption I was really taken aback. My home is Detroit I can remember my mother and I waiting for the streetcar on Woodward Avenue after spending the day at Hudson and Crowleys and then ending the day with an Ice Cream/ Waffle sandwich at Woolworths with a glass of Vernors Gingerale. All of this might mean absolutely nothing to you if you are not a native Detroiter and over 60 but your picture certainly means a lot to me. And by the way, I too was a little African American girl with pigtails.

    gorgeous shot and Cooki’s comment just adds so much to it. I can’t wait to come to America and see this stuff…but I am afraid it won’t be as cool as the photos….

    This is a wonderful, timeless picture. Although I’ve never been to Detroit and don’t know the ladies in the photo, it makes one miss them somehow. Just great! :-)

    Wonderful shot, so many interesting aspects to it. Love how close they are sitting together and right on the edge of the bench and the big words ‘Beauty’ in the sign at the top could represent beauty at any age. And I just noticed the balloon the little girl is holding, great capture :)
