Worked with Clara Belle at the Photo Center in the 1960s. She was one of a kind and our community has lost an Icon. RIP sailor

CW02 Clara Belle Johnson is remembered in the US Navy Photography community as a pioneer.   She served with dignity and honor during a time when many of her fellow servicemen thought it was their right, if not an obligation to "put down," or tease any woman who thought they could do a man's job. She proved all of them wrong when she not only did their job, but did it at the same time she was being harassed with good natured - "give it right back!"  We wish her fair winds and following seas.

Rest easy, Shipmate!  We have the watch.
