The Carnaval with my Leica.

POTD: Boys on the Road by legendary photographer Hansel Mieth who passed away in 1998. I saw a documentary of her life and work on PBS and I’ve had it saved on my Tivo for a few months now. She inspires me as she was a documentary photojournalist often working on poverty & social issues of the day. She was the 2nd female to work for Life magazine. Her and her husband were blacklisted in the 50’s due to their refusal to testify at the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
