A Bride, 1962
This photographer is of a bride as she looks out a window, and it perfectly demonstrates pre-wedding jitters, which many people who are about to get married experience, Michael Rougier worked as a photographer at this wedding in 1962.
This candid shot ended up being the most popular of the lot, as rather than focusing on grandiosity, it caught a very human moment. Because LIFE is about life, the magazine was glad to publish it.
Small Players, 1954
These young players are dressed in their uniforms and ready to play. This photo was taken in 1954 by Yale Joel, and what’s interesting is that not everyone on the team is wearing the complete uniform.
It’s messy and incomplete, but what the photo does show is that it’s all about the sport. The other things don’t matter as much at all, and it seems only kids really understand this. If only adults could too.
