Young Eskimo girl wearing fur-lined hood


Location:Coppermine, Canada
Date taken:October 1937
Photographer:Margaret Bourke-White

"My sister Margaret was not unfriendly or aloof."

Wiki: While in Russia, she photographed a rare occurrence, Joseph Stalin with a smile
. . . . . . .
She had a knack for being at the right place at the right time: she interviewed and photographed Mohandas K. Gandhi just a few hours before his assassination. Alfred Eisenstaedt, her friend and colleague, said one of her strengths was that there was no assignment and no picture that was unimportant to her.
