There must be a story behind this somewhat grainy photo, but I don’t know what it is.

This is Mom (Florence McClain) and Dorothy Holmes (Mom’s friend from nursing school) on the McClain farm in Tallman, standing on the bumper of a Chevrolet. That much is clear. But why?
The answer (or part of it) may lie in the identification of the car. I believe This is Dad’s (Lloyd Wright’s) 1924 Chevrolet Coupe. If that is correct, Dad almost certainly took the photo. In Dad’s photography during this period, he seems to have experimented a lot with creative poses for his subjects. This may be an other example of that.
Great photo of Mom and Dorothy, whatever the story is.
Such a great picture of both of them!
Mom looks so lovely…an expression in response to the person taking the picture, maybe??
The answer to the question (“Why”) is Why Not!!!
I agree with Kathryn!
