Maude
"This widely copied picture is of a New Guinea mother known as 'Maude.' It is rumored that women nursed pigs frequently. Pigs were very valuable assets. To squat by a fire, she could flip the long breast over her shoulder."

"A local native chief - One of the native chiefs at a big 'Sing Sing' celebration in the Dobodura area of New Guinea." "heat damaged from enlarger that we had at Dobodura Don't know what became of the 5x7 'Solar' enlarger - was not at Finch." (Finchhaffen) From "Darkroom Soldier": "Sing-Sing Regalia. Wearing his bird of paradise and cassowary feather headdress, his necklace of carved wild boar tusks, his western-style belt, and his black or red body makeup, this chief displays the power, pride, and beauty of local tribesmen ready to begin a sing-sing -- the Pidgin English term for a community celebration."

"Copy negatives of New Guinea native Women - bare breasted" From "Darkroom Soldier": "Three Coastal Women. Among all New Guinea tribes, tropical heat and humidity required partial nudity in order for anyone to be comfortable. Traditionally, women wore grass skirts without tops while men usually wore breechclouts and sometimes penis sheathes. After European contact, some coastal women adopted waistcloth skirts, as pictured here, and men sometimes adopted short pants or other western clothing -- as seen in other Hill photos."
