An article from the Guardian.
Bonhams is auctioning some of her phots, and there's a book in the pipeline. https://www.theguardian.com/artandde...in-in-pictures |

Thanks for the link:
I didn't know her name at all, but "Couple in MG" was an image I'd seen before. Rather like some other links you've posted here these photographs have gained a resonance and an emotional weight with the passage of time. We can look back into a world changed for ever, and most often we didn't even notice it happening. Like the seaside images of Michael Bennet, a world we took for granted is gone. Suddenly the photographs have a nostalgia and pathos nobody would have felt looking at them 40 years ago. This comment is not about digital photography, but about a new attitude we seem to have: the modern world is being photographed more than ever, but it is also being sanitised and 'improved' even as the photographs get thrown onto Instagram and Facebook. |
