Artist's Description
From 1943 comes this terrific U.S. government portrait of an aircraft factory production inspector who, I think, possibly is the most beautiful wartime worker ever. Obviously she was told the photographer would be stopping by tomorrow, so except for the gloves and armband, she's as dolled up as she would have been for a date. I have looked at her often and wondered what her life was like then and after the war. Did she have a husband or a sweetheart serving overseas and, if so, did he come home safely? Guessing she was in her early twenties here, could she still be alive? I suppose we'll never know anything more about her.
NOTE: The Fine Art watermark visible in preview windows is not on any print.
About Don Struke
Although I don't call myself a photographer, I have taken thousands of photos through the years and now and then I end up with one that is printworthy. Well, at least by my standards, which might be somewhat less than the norm. But you are the judge (continued below). PLEASE CLICK ON AD TO LEARN ABOUT THIS SITE I'm fortunate enough to have enjoyed a rather varied background in marketing, advertising, public relations, print and electronic media, TV production, and publication design in both corporate and non-profit organizations. As my list of photos on Fine Art America slowly grows, it should be apparent that my interests are all over the place, from the sight of beautiful flowers and landscapes to aviation and high performance...

That means this photograph is such a powerful one, to make us inquisitive!!!!!!!

12-21-2012 Just learned from a friend in California that this was shot not with Ektachrome - which probably did not exist then - but with Kodachrome (R.I.P.).

Thank you so much Don for the kind complements about that poem............Very true!Your caption makes it more and more beautiful.......Latha..
Don Struke replied:
Having looked at thousands of photos from that era, I think this is one of the best for several reasons. Most probably it was taken with Ektachome film, a Kodak wonder. Looking at the original at full size on my PC, I half expect her to look up at the viewer. I'm sure I'd see dark brown eyes. Sigh...

Thank you, thank you, Latha! "Lost memories and emotions of the past" as your poem so beautifully speaks, helps paint a picture of this woman, I think. I hope you had a chance to read my caption.
