Old Photograph From Paris

I have collected old photographs for a long time and I bought this one with two others on a flea market in Paris a few years ago. As the three photographs showed the three same women, I spent a long time inventing stories about them . . . were they sisters or friends? Where were they and who took the picture? Why did they seem to be so happy? What did they do before the picture was taken and what were they going to do after it? . . . It’s funny because I know that I won’t have this photograph anymore and now that I’m looking at it for the last time, I’m wondering if one of the three women might not actually be a man!
