I found this picture at the swap meet today. It was in a box of a couple hundred old snapshots. Boxes like this show up there all the time. I don't know how this happens: people having no one left to pass their family photos on to. Sometimes these collections go back to the 1880's.
I had to buy this one of this couple. It is just someone's snapshot but it came out as a classic WWII pose: the sailor with his cocked hat, the sexy girl with her lipstick and unmistakable 40's hair. It could almost be a still from some movie of that time.
Did they just get married before he shipped out? Is that why she's so happy? Or is this the day he got back? There's nothing on the back, no date, no names.
Something about this little snapshot pulled me in, and I just couldn't let it go into oblivion with all the other pictures at the swapmeet.
