Given her expression in shot 2 and how he’s grinning in shots 3 and 4, it had to be him. And it was an epic one.

One of my favourite bits of writing was uncovered while writing my History degree dissertation:

‘When a warm heart has received strong impressions, they are not to be effaced. Emotions become sentiments; and the imagination renders even transient sensations permanent, by fondly retracing them. I cannot, without a thrill of delight, recollect views I have seen, nor looks I have felt in every nerve, which I shall never more meet. The grave has closed over a dear friend, the friend of my youth; still she is present with me, and I hear her soft voice warbling as I stray over the heath.’ – Mary Wollstonecraft

That is why history is interesting and important, not that dry obsession with wars, politics and statistics…

I don’t think it will be as significant for hippies, because it won’t just be pictures, there will be film with sound as well…

what’s interesting to me, is in that first picture you can see the guy is smiling in his eyes, which is something you don’t often see in older pictures.

That’s not a fart flinch, that’s a “Daguerrotypes are as expensive as diamonds. You know what you’re going to have to do later…”, flinch.

I mean, why else would she have looked down and then away at his crotch?
