Photographer’s Note

This picture illustrates people's daily life a hundred of years ago in Texas. This picture also illustrates gender roles of women back then where they are staying home and do housework as shown here. They were supposed to make sure the house is clean and things are in order.

this picture was taken during an annual event showing some traditional things people did long time ago in Texas. I went with a TE member, Mel Mcree. It was really cold and our hands were shaking all the time.

Ciao teacher,
beautiful and pleasant image of other ancient times. The yellow light makes a particular, warm and calm atmosphere. You have had a beautiful idea to post this scene of American ancient life.
Ciao
Paolo.

Hello Sothy,

Excellent picture with the nostalgia out of the long time ago.
I can not see or you this picture took with flash, these pictures have to almost always taken become flash.
I like the old style of attire of the ladies, and the lovely carpets in the live room.
Thanks for sharing.

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
John.
