Sen. John Fitzgerald Kennedy and brother Robert F. Kennedy conferring in hotel suite during a convention stop ~ July 1960
Just a lil note re: body-language… I’ve been reading up on it a lot lately and can’t help but notice the boys positioning, particularly the feet: Jack has both of his facing Bobby, along with his hands, indicating that all of his trust and focus is on what his little brother is saying, whereas Bobby has one foot facing Jack and the other facing the photographer, meaning he’s focused on Jack *and* he is conscious of the camera. His crossed hands are pointing to the door and the window, which makes sense in his prepping Jack about the crowds outside. (Guess which bro is the one worrying about everything! LOL!) This coupled with Bobby’s overall ‘folded’ demeanor indicates he is extremely protective/defensive of Jack, and that whatever he’s saying, he’s certain of. Both are leaning in towards eachother, and are on the cusp of ‘intimate space’, which is generally only shared between family and loved ones.
