EDITORS COMMENTS
Avoiding the Crush" is a captivating photograph by Reginald Higgins, capturing the essence of shyness and unspoken longing during the fashionable 1920s at a smart seaside resort on the French Riviera. The image features a young, elegant woman with a chic Eton crop, her fashionable attire accentuating her slender figure, as she sits as far apart as possible from a man, engrossed in his pipe. The man, dressed in a smart suit and hat, exudes an air of sophistication and maturity, his gaze fixed on the horizon, seemingly lost in thought. The woman, with a demure expression, studiously ignores him, her hands folded primly in her lap. The empty space between them speaks volumes, as they both attempt to navigate the awkwardness of unrequited affection. The setting sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, the deckchairs lining the sandy beach, and the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean shimmering in the background. The atmosphere is one of tranquility and relaxation, yet the tension between the man and woman is palpable. The year is 1927, and the Roaring Twenties are in full swing. Holidays at the seaside were a popular pastime for the fashionable elite, and this image encapsulates the era's trend of flirtatious yet guarded courtship. The young woman's fashionable crop, a symbol of modernity and independence, adds to the intrigue, as she attempts to avoid the crush of unwanted advances. Reginald Higgins' "Avoiding the Crush" is a poignant reminder of the gauche and awkward nature of young love, and the lengths people will go to hide their true feelings. The photograph invites the viewer to ponder the story behind the image, and to imagine the outcome of this timeless scene.
