Discount Fabrics, 1974. These two black and white contact print strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images show a woman (Ione Rapp) holding up a piece of fabric. This woman has swept-back hair and is wearing glasses and a jacket with 3/4 sleeves. She is wearing a nametag which identifies her as Ione Rapp, manager of the Discount Fabrics store. Image 26 shows Ms. Rapp holding up the piece of fabric and looking down at it. Her head and body are turned partially toward the left-hand side of the image frame. Image 27 is nearly identical to image 26. Image 28 is very similar to the previous two images, but here Ms. Rapp is laughing. Image 29 is similar to the previous images, but here Ms. Rapp's body is oriented toward the camera and her head is turned partially toward the right-hand side of the image frame. Image 30 is very similar to images 26-28, but here the photographer has elevated their point of view to look downward more on Ms. Rapp. Image 31 is nearly identical to the previous image. Image 32 is very similar to image 32, but here Ms. Rapp is laughing. Image 33 is nearly identical to image 30.
