Shading the Camera in the Woods

Shading the Camera in the Woods | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
With her face partially shaded by a hat, Jeannette Holt is holding a cast iron frying pan sideways to shade the camera as a young man, sitting at the base of a tree, prepares to shoot. Her elbow is resting on a stack of metal containers. The camera, held by the young man, is resting on a bucket and is aimed towards the photographer. In the foreground on the right is the shoulder of a person sitting on the ground near a picnic blanket with food and tableware on it. A campfire is smoldering just beyond the blanket. A forest is in the background.
