Untitled (Sacramento) 1978

Editor: This photograph, titled "Untitled (Sacramento)," is by Bill Dane. It's a silver gelatin print depicting two women in hats, possibly at an outdoor concert. There’s a real sense of immediacy, like we're right there with them. What do you see in this piece? Curator: It feels like a memory, doesn't it? The graininess, the casual composition—it’s intensely personal. I get a whiff of nostalgia, a yearning for simpler times, like a faded postcard found in an old attic. Makes you wonder what music they were listening to, doesn't it? Editor: Definitely evokes a certain era. I wonder if Dane was trying to capture a specific feeling or moment. Curator: Perhaps both! It's less about the "what" and more about the "how it felt." Dane invites us into this fleeting, sun-drenched California afternoon, and it’s up to us to piece together the story.
