Four Carriages (at rest)

I found these four photos at a favorite antique store in Minocqua, WI.

This one draws me in for the sheer distance of time.. no date, but surely quite old judging by the horse drawn carriage.  He looks to be pleading with her as she walks away with her head down. The horses wait patiently and obediently.  The pig is indifferent to the situation, content to gnaw on grass.  Is the pig traveling with them?  Is this some low point of a long journey? The photographer keeps his distance. 

A man waits in a model T(?) during a snowball fight.  The boy at the right, with the face of a bully, is more interested in having his picture taken.

1939 - Shot at midday, the man, his barn and his new vehicle emerge from whiteness.  There is no ground and no sky. They are objects in empty space.  

She has been carefully posed in the center of the square frame.  Vulnerable in the openness of this anonymous parking lot.  The white, textless rectangle painted on the building, like a thought bubble without a thought. Space-Age rocket car parked and waiting.
