      Incredible documentary shot! Thank you for introducing me to yet another ground breaking female photographer ;-)

      What kind of camera is she holding?

    5. Kathy / Analog Soul Photography (16 months ago | reply)

      I would make a (fairly educated) guess that it's a Rolleiflex. The shot was probably made with a Rollei also. I actually own one that is probably very similar if not the same as what she's holding ;-)

      Nice picture.
      Looks like the time on her watch is 2:50.
      The little girl on the left is wearing an oversized sweater that has holes in it...

      The patch on her left sleeve is a US "civilian patch" as worn by non-combatants in WW II.
