I knew I had seen this picture before, then I looked at the photographer. Gordon Parks, can't get much better than that.

His version of American Gothic. Great image and there is a wonderful story behind this if you watch his biography.

Gordon Parks is my favorite photographer.

TexKap and all: It is certainly a striking image, and one that is part of a larger series of images of Ella Watson taken by Gordon Parks over the course of nearly a month. The story behind the images is as interesting as the photos themselves. A bit about Mr. Parks, his work with the Farm Security Administration and specifically this series of images can be found here on the Library's website: Ella Watson, U.S. Government Charwoman, Photographer: Gordon Parks.

American Gothic with many demographic traits

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Exergy, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Oh I love that sun shine and smile......... Great capture!

love this!

Love that almost nothing is a disposable after one use in the photo.

This chick is 'some kind of clean. She's even leaning on her vacuum. I bet we could eat off of her grittiest corner and feel confident she had sterilized it.

she seems so well dressed, considering the job she's doing.

that's so true! this picture reminds me of these pictures we had to analyze in my genocide class.

@nyyandjeterlover I am a bit stupefait. What does this picture has to do with genocide?

waow nice image

:D
