In the mid-1940s the great F.S.A. photographer Marion Post-Wolcott suspended her photo career in order to raise a family, but periodically returned to the medium as she traveled and taught in Iran, Pakistan and New Mexico. In 1968, over three decades after she began, she returned to freelance photography, focusing on color work in California.
