Na afloop van de optocht Jeugdstorm: limonade 1935 - 1937

J. Otto captured 'Na afloop van de optocht Jeugdstorm: limonade' without noting the date, or maybe it's not known. I think you could make something interesting out of it. The photo captures a scene that feels both candid and staged, doesn’t it? It’s all in grayscale, lending a timeless quality to the image. Imagine Otto, composing the shot, trying to freeze this moment of youthful camaraderie and refreshment. It's a moment of pause amidst what I imagine would be a lot of chaos and confusion. I wonder what Otto was thinking when he snapped the picture. The faces of the young people are striking, full of life, but also a bit unsettling, with their matching uniforms. Did he want to make a statement about conformity, or was he simply drawn to the visual spectacle of the group gathered around the lemonade stand?
