Some photo's just have that timeless feel to them...
This image for example is one that makes me stop and stare, I find it completely enchanting.
When do you think it was taken, this year, 10 years ago, 20 years at a push maybe..... can you believe its from 1947 !!
The photographer was Toni Frissell born in New York in 1907 who became famous for her fashion imagery, WWII photographs and portraits of famous Americans (including amongst other the Kennedys).
She left behind a legacy of 340,000 items, (ca. 1930-69) including 270,000 black-and-white negatives, 42,000 color transparencies and 25,000 enlargement prints.
and just for info... the image above was taken at Weeki Wachee Spring, Florida, the only home of 'live mermaids'.... Apparently, you can watch these mermaids from an underwater viewing area, exactly where this photo was taken more than 60 years ago...
