Quite Continental

Nina Leen is easily one of my favorite LIFE photographers.  She was one of the first female photographers for LIFE and has a prolific body of work.   You’ve probably noticed I’ve featured her work a few times on the blog a few times — my most favorite images are from her studies of the American Woman and the American Man in the mid-1940s — and I recently went looking in the archives to see if I couldn’t find a few pictures of the woman behind the camera.  I found some great images; Nina looks spunky, arty and so effortlessly cool.  I wasn’t aware it was possible, but I may love her even more…
