What I Like About This: Nearly 70 years have passed since this young couple posed for this photograph on the occasion of their graduation. Some might say, they are clearly good friends and perhaps that could be true... But look closely and you may see what I see: Their embrace is close and quite intimate. Their bodies are literally pressed together, this is a lover's embrace. The looks on their faces we have seen many times in portraits of vintage couples, the one is carefree and joyously happy to be photographed with the center of his heart, while the other's face reveals a half-smile tinged with the worry of telling too much of their secret. We cannot know if what I see here is the truth or not, but we can always know that "we were always there."
