Another big WOW from me.
So carefully set up, yet his posture is not formal. Strange. Beautiful.

Actually, it's HER posture. Soldaderas were the women who went with the Mexican rebellion fighters. Some, like this woman, fought as soldiers themselves - others did all the camp work. All the pictures of them are amazing.

I am amazed at all the colors in this black and white photograph.

Well put! I keep seeing her in red and white.
