Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of a local woman standing along a dirt road and feeding pigeons in Valdez, Alaska. A dirt and gravel road stretches up through the image from the bottom edge and towards the left. In the near distance, right-of-center, a woman stands in profile, facing left, along the side of the road. She holds her hands outstretched in front of her. About a dozen pigeons stand in the road to the left of her. Down the road, a man wearing an apron stands along the left frame and holds a camera up to his face. He too photographs the woman feeding the birds. Heavy machinery stands behind the woman at right. A few buildings line the right side of the road as it stretches into the distance. Dark smoke billows from somewhere far behind the man with a camera. Text from negative sleeve: 2199. Alaska Trip Valdez Aug.9,1946 1. Our boat 2. Tow car on dock 3. Unloading cargo 4.
