The Baby Boom explained in a single image!
Wow!
This is just an iconic portrait of the working man. I’m dumbfounded that it’s never been printed!
My comment is wrong!
I need to delete it and repost!!
Wartime Fashion
I can imagine this on the cover of Esquire. “Functional and sturdy have replaced stylish and elegant for the duration."
Superb photographic portrait
Yosuf Karsh, move over; Jack Delano is one up with this striking environmental portrait. I wonder if the subject's family has a copy of this image. I hope so. It would obviously be a family treasure to be handed along through generations as a memento, but also as an exceptional work of art. Kudos to Delano or whoever printed the image, as well.
