Description: Vintage photo of four nuns, dressed in traditional habits, gather closely as they share a light for their cigarettes. The scene captures a candid and humorous moment of camaraderie. It's a mysterious photo in a way, because we don't know the real story. The author has been uncredited all these years, so there's no one to ask: is this real? Is it staged? Are they really nuns? I prefer to think it's real and that they are nuns, but either way, it's a great photograph.
