Friday Photo Swoon – Lady in Black

Anton Bruehl Photo c. 1930 #vintage #photograph #1930s #black

That little black dress. Or long dress. Whatever. It doesn't matter what you call it, we all have one. We know how we feel when we put it on too. Sexy, strong, in control. I don't know why exactly. Maybe because black has mystery where other colors don't. It is hard to pin down, to see detail. Almost like the night. You know everything around you is just the same, but nighttime can alter even the most familiar of spaces. Blackness can void what you think you knew. Maybe this is why we can feel different in black. We get to take on a different self. One that is in control of a mystery while others are left questioning...
