Having recently visited the Farm Security Administration photo collection at the Library of Congress, I appreciate seeing photos like this available online.(The FSA photos are, too.)

A beautiful Collier photo.

Fantastic composition, contrast, detail to subject matter, and tone. All the hallmark of Mr. Collier.

The simplicity, interest and curiosity of a child's mind rendered perfectly in one shot. Beautiful.

I particularly like this photo, particularly the ways the girl are both hard at work and conscious of the camera simultaneously. I took a number of photos from this collection and placed them in the header of a site for museum class I am teaching. (Link.) Hope this doesn't pose a problem. I will be explaining where they're from and linking to the exhibit and the flickr page on the class homepage on the right-hand sidebar. Great stuff!
Best,
Jim

I'm so excited to find these photos online here! I knew they could be found at the FSA archive site, but am a bit late to discover them here. The girl on the left is my grandmother. =)

The girl on the right is my neighbor, Mary Ann. She is in great health, and walks the neighborhood every day. She has a book with all these photos too.
My mother-in-law is from Fort Kent.

Thank you so much for accepting my invitation to add your wonderful picture to my humble little group (Maine in Black and White). I grew up in a small rural town in Maine in the 40s, and these girls are so typical of my friends and neighbors. It really brings back wonderful memories of a simpler time.
