Untitled (woman or child playing pool) c. 1950

Editor: This small, undated photograph by Jack Gould, titled *Untitled (woman or child playing pool)*, feels like a memory, a little faded. What’s your take on this intimate scene? Curator: It's a curious glimpse, isn't it? I’m immediately drawn to the way the light pools on the billiards table, illuminating the child's focused stance. It’s a world within a world, this photograph, a moment of quiet concentration in a darkened room. What do you feel when you see it? Editor: A sort of quiet intensity, almost like a stage set. Curator: Precisely! Gould captures the mundane and transforms it into something subtly theatrical. I wonder, is it a memory being created or re-lived? It makes one ponder the power of photography, doesn't it? Editor: Definitely something to think about. Thanks!
