Little Store (seeing 2)

In this photograph by Welty of the Storekeeper taken in 1935 is of the Store owner in the town that Welty describes from her childhood. The store keeper is sitting on a ledge with the looks of two pumpkins His facial expression shows a solid face with a stern structure. He looks unhappy and serious. His hand lays on the pumpkin as if he wants to show that he owns the place. He is properly dressed in a tie, button down and long pants. He is crossing his legs showing proper gesture maybe to express his seriousness of owning this store. In the background there are bananas a picture and I think a telephone. The banana's are by the window that is shinning light through the glass. This gives the store keepers face some brightness and the other side shadows. The banana's are ripening in the sun and the telephone hangs on the wooden wall. This shows that maybe the store gets calls for the food he offers. Or maybe he gets shipments of food from other factories and uses the phone for business. Even though the photograph is in a small area and it's called the Little Store, i think it's got a big business.
