Following yesterday's post on Wallace Putnam, I can't leave out this great photograph by his wife Consuelo Kanaga. © Consuelo Kanaga, undated, Untitled (Muckworker) / USA Consuelo Delesseps Kanaga (1894–1978) was an American photographer and writer who became well known for her photographs of African-Americans.
