2007-012.L421PDescription
Don File Secretaries, 1979. These five black and white contact print strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images were created using two separate film rolls, so some of the physical numbers on the strips are duplicated. For the purposes of this description, these strips will be grouped according to the film roll from which they originally came. Each group will be assigned a lower-case letter to go along with the physical numbers on the strips (ex: 1a, 2a, 3a, 1b, 2b, 3b, etc.) to help differentiate between images.
The images in group "a" show five women posing for photos together in an office. There is a desk in the lower foreground on the image. The woman at the far left is wearing a floral-print top and a necklace. The woman second from the left is wearing a vertically-striped button-up shirt with short sleeves. The woman at center is wearing a blazer with a patterned shirt underneath. The woman second from the right is wearing a horizontally-striped shirt. The woman at the far right is wearing a floral print, long-sleeved top. Image 6a shows the leftmost four women facing toward the camera and smiling. The woman at the far right is facing toward the left-hand side of the image and smiling. Image 7a is very similar to the previous image, but here the woman at the far right has turned her head toward the camera. Images 8a through 26a are nearly identical to image 7a.
The images in group "b" are very similar to those in group "a," but here there is no desk in the foreground and the women have changed positions relative to each other. At left is a woman in a floral print top with a 3/4 sleeve. Second from left is the woman in the vertically-striped button-up shirt. At center is the woman in the blazer. Second from right is the woman in the floral-print, long-sleeved top. At the far right is woman in the horizontally-striped, 1/2 sleeved top. Images 24b through 27b are nearly identical to image 23b.Made/Created
