_See __Sisters_
When I went out of town to make a photograph of these children I wasn’t
feeling just fit and I asked my friend to excuse me from making any
negatives that day. I took the opportunity to look around and get an
impression of the place. I noted the big rooms and the characteristics of
the lighting and the faces of the children. I found that they kept their
toys in a big sort of a highboy. So the next time I went out I
photographed them there. The lens? Oh, yes; a Taylor-Hobson single.
Exposure? Always with a cap, indoors. Paper? Always platinum or
palladium—sometimes with a gum coating to help out.
