Workers on a Puerto Rican sugar plantation. I love everything about this shot: the dark sky, the desolate field, the curve of the water barrel.

Fabulous Face

This striking gent, Manuel Zorra, was photographed in 1940. A fisherman of Portuguese descent, he made his home in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

According to Edwin Rosskam, the photographer, Mr. Zorra was "one of the best storytellers on the cape."
