Ruth Orkin


Ruth Orkin

Now, it may appear that I’m on a photography kick.  But, my impulse to share the work of Ruth Orkin has more to do with her subjects, specifically the women and children, then my affinity for black and whites (though this affinity only seems to grow).  Orkin is the photographer behind many of the classic photos you will recognize.  She received her first camera at age 10.  Her photographs possess emotion which seems forever captured. Love. Them.
