Describe what you see: Three white teenage/youngadult people, two male, one female, sit outside in lawnchairs under a large tree that seems to be a type of oak, most likely red oak due to the pointed shape of the leaves that I can see in the picture.  The male on the left is holding open what I think may be a book. He has short dark hair, a white shirt (possibly a polo), and dress pants and white dress shoes. The lady has dark hair done in (pin?)curls, a black dress that shows no pattern or design, and some sort of heeled, dark colored dress shoe. Her legs are crossed like the young man next to her on the right. The young man on the right has his hair parted to the left, and is wearing a dress shirt and a tie. Though the gentleman of the left seems to be wearing a simple teeshirt, the formal wear of the other two made me believe that it was a polo of sorts and it's detail wasn't noticable because of the lack of contrast in that section of the picture. The pathway in the yard they are in seems to be made out of stone blocks, and has grass growing between them. the house behind them has paneled windows as well as a white picket fence.

Things I wondered about: Who are these people? What are their relationships with one another? Are they alive now? If they are, how do thier relationships now differ from when this picture was taken? Speaking of when this picture was taken, what was the ocasion that lead to this pictures existance? What do they in the present (given that they are alive) remember about the day this picture was taken, if they remember about it at all? What are some things they regret they did when they were the age they were in this picture? Would the people in this picture be happy about how they are now and the choices they made? ( a revision of this question would be, would your younger self be proud of your present day self?)
