Battling the Breeze – Philadelphia, 1947
The serendipitous nature of this photograph lends it an almost magical quality. As these individuals embarked on their daily commute to work, they were caught in a gust of wind so strong that they instinctively held onto their hats in perfect unison.
The image captures the moment’s intensity, with the risk of their hats being blown away at any second. A quintessential vintage moment, they are forever immortalized.
