I'm sorry to hear that, but she lived a full and productive life. I was a regular Modern Photography reader.

I always enjoyed her columns. I recall her saying that she hated fireworks photos.
I think it was her that discovered rural Arkansas portrait photographer Micheal Disfarmer.
May she R.I.P.

Thank You, Richard, for dropping the name of Michael (Mike) Disfarmer. A very interesting photographer.

A documentary on his life "Mike Disfarmer: A Portrait of America" is available on Vimeo, as well as a website on him and his life and work - disfarmer.org
