Starting a book about a modern female war photographer.
pickIt only took me seven years to get around to reading this book but I am so glad I did. Lee Miller was better known for being a model and her associations with artists when she became the first American female war correspondent in 1944.

I highly recommend this for photography lovers and WWII buffs. Looking forward to learning more about her. 5⭐️

There is biographical information by each decade of her professional life followed by major pictures she took and published. I was surprised there weren‘t more pictures of South Africa and apartheid.

It was the one about Ötzi the iceman, this was a story about how a few hikers found the oldest intact human ever.
