Lovely Photos of Industrial Things
Also from NPR, Susan Stamberg reports:"Margaret Bourke-White was one of the most famous photojournalists of the 20th century. A Bourke-White picture made the cover of the very first issue of Life magazine. She was one of four staff photographers on the first masthead, the only woman on staff, and invented the photo essay for the magazine." (plow blades to the left, 1930-----1930!!?)

Funny. I would've pegged her as a lesbyterian. a-ooh.
