Shot on 8mm film in 1942, this vintage home movie captures a young girl in a dark one-piece bathing suit walking barefoot on sandy ground in New Hampshire. She wears white shoes and has her hair styled in braids, moving with natural childhood curiosity. The grainy black-and-white footage shows her walking toward and away from the camera, with another child briefly visible. The scene unfolds outdoors under bright sunlight, casting distinct shadows, and features a natural, unposed quality typical of mid-20th century family films. The film’s characteristic grain and soft focus enhance its nostalgic, archival feel.
