Washing Laundry, Naples 1955

Previously posted in monochrome and further cropped. I see and relate to other things after 65 yeas of taking the picture. Naples was hit hard. people were poor and without necessities. Based on wearing black she was a widow and living under unpleasant conditions. Since I was in the 6th fleet, their base, I spent time in Naples and it did not improve over the years I was there.

This and the images in this gallery are so valuable. Many younger people are unaware how long it took for many nations to recover from the devastation of WW2.

What a beautiful image of this woman and her life.
Such fine journalistic work that after all these years seems like a work of art to me!

Your old film work is very special, Neil. I've often enjoyed those galleries of yours and marveled at the images.
