Untitled (little boy and girl with carved pumpkin on front steps) c. 1950

Editor: This small, undated photograph by Lucian and Mary Brown, charmingly titled "Untitled (little boy and girl with carved pumpkin on front steps)," has such a spooky sweetness! What do you see in this seemingly simple scene? Curator: The reversed tones give it such a ghostly feel, doesn’t it? Like a memory half-remembered. I imagine the Browns capturing a fleeting moment of childhood wonder. It makes you wonder about their own story, right? Were they carving pumpkins too, that very day? Editor: It certainly does! I'll be thinking about them and their picture for a while. Curator: Me too! It’s funny how a small photograph can feel so big.
