I adore this photograph, plain and simple. Adore. I can’t understand that it isn’t paint, from a long time ago, when women sat by smokey candles, throwing bobbins around making lace. And the composition just holds me, the entire image is really about the roundness of black clothe and a small defiant look.

Here’s another favorite if mine…
