![The photograph captures a moment of leisure and exploration in the waters of The Hamptons, as evidenced by its title. In this image, three individuals are engaging with their environment: an adult male holding a stick possibly to aid balance or navigate through shallow water; another adult female wearing shorts is wading close behind him also balancing on her left leg while using her right hand for support against the ground in front of them; and finally there's one young boy standing at some distance from these two figures who has both hands raised, holding up what appears to be a net or tool likely used during crabbing activity. The water extends into calm yet reflective surface with ripples indicating movement caused by their actions on top but overall stillness which mirrors sky above them reflecting in this blue-grey hue coloration.
The trio's attire suggests warm weather conditions typical of summer days and casual outdoor activities; the boy is shirtless, showing only shorts while both adults wear long-sleeve shirts and trousers respectively. The presence of two nets implies they are engaged in a recreational activity like crabbing - commonly associated with beachside or coastal areas.
The surrounding landscape extends into distance where one can observe wide expanse devoid of any other human intervention; it could be interpreted as indicative for seclusion sought after during leisure excursions to such destinat [...]](https://mastodon.ozioso.online/system/media_attachments/files/114/000/342/154/554/994/original/7bfeda701461214e.jpeg "The photograph captures a moment of leisure and exploration in the waters of The Hamptons, as evidenced by its title.

![In this image, we see a group of people dancing in what appears to be an indoor club or party setting. The central focus is on two individuals: one man and one woman. The man has dark hair and wears a blue jacket with gold buttons over a navy shirt paired with striped pants that have vertical stripes alternating between tan, white, black, grey, brown, light blue, and red. He also sports brown leather shoes.
The woman stands in front of him wearing beige flared trousers matched by an off-white or cream sweater with horizontal stripes varying from dark to lighter shades of pinkish-beige. She has a maroon-colored turtleneck underneath the top layer which is worn over her head like a hood, leaving only the lower part visible around her neck and chest area.
She also wears high-heeled shoes that appear black in color but may be another shade due to lighting conditions as they seem darker than usual for this setting. Her hair appears dark brown or brunette with hints of blonde on it suggesting possible highlights or dyeing effects, while her face shows an expression full of surprise and intrigue which could indicate something unexpected happened during the dance.
The surrounding environment is colorful yet blurred out by focus depth settings typical in such photography scenarios to emphasize subjects over background details.

![This image captures a lively scene inside an Aspen night club during February of 1970. The atmosphere is vibrant with people dancing on a brightly lit dance floor, surrounded by bold red and yellow walls that contrast sharply against the dancers' colorful attire. Notably in this photograph are two individuals: Mary Duffy, identifiable as one of Vogue magazine's models due to her striking appearance and confident stance among other patrons; she dances energetically alongside a man wearing an orange suit who appears amused or perhaps charmed by her presence.
The image composition is dynamic yet balanced with the focus on both subjects at center stage. In contrast to their central position, various guests are seated in relaxed postures along the club's perimeter tables—engaged in conversation and enjoying drinks amidst this energetic setting. The lighting casts a warm glow across the entire scene while highlighting dancers' movements as they sway together.
The photograph serves not only as an artistic documentation of mid-1970s fashion but also provides insight into social trends, specifically those related to nightlife culture during that time period in Aspen. Through its vivid portrayal of this specific moment—captured through Frissell's lens—the image invites viewers on a journey back to the era when style and expression were celebrated in such public spaces.
