rosie the imager
I looked at people and events long before I owned a camera, more as a silent observer than a participant, sensing this was a woman’s place. It is no longer my place as a woman. But remains my style as a photographer. - Abigail Heyman,
i just love old photos of women with cameras. of course dorothea's portrait is my favorite .
they're my rosies the riveters. they're tough, smart, and interested in the world around them. they're mastering equipment built by and for men. they're making documents from a perspective not often seen before. and they're the subjects of photos not intended only to be seen and used by men.
i can't believe in my 9-5 photo editor gig that i'm searching LOC's sites and had not yet seen this special exhibit about women who covered WWII . click to see who these photogs are and what they did.
