...of San Francisco, is it any wonder I am drawn to images of women and the elements?

The original of an often remade Mexican film:
La Mujer del Puerto (1934)
aka Woman of the Port
directed by Arcady Boytler and Rafael J. Sevilla
cinematography by Alex Phillips

Mexico City in the 1930s must have been an incredibly inspiring place to work, judging by the modern themes and the general output of the multinational artists gathered there. One director is from Russia, the cinematographer is Canadian-born - not to mention other artists such as Frida Kahlo, Tina Modotti....
