Untitled (boys basketball team) c. 1975

Editor: This photograph, by Ken Whitmire Associates, is simply titled "Untitled (boys basketball team)." It feels like a quintessential image of its time, perhaps the 1970s? It's so earnest and a little awkward. What stories do you think this image tells? Curator: Ah, yes! It whispers tales of teamwork and, perhaps, the slightly forced smiles of adolescence. I see a yearning for belonging, captured in the rigid formation. The basketball hoop looms above, a silent promise of shared victories and crushing defeats. What do you make of the coaches' expressions? Editor: They seem... stoic? Maybe a little proud. It's funny how a simple team photo can evoke so much. Curator: Exactly! It's a time capsule, isn't it? A reminder of simpler times, of shared dreams on polished courts.
