It’s too bad she wasn’t a little younger :P

Awesome photography.

More people shoot film that you think. I think I’ve picked my my digital camera for personal photography maybe twice in the last six months.

@ Beach : “I doubt we’ll be seeing stories like this 50 years from now”
there will be stories like this when people find old disscarded external hard drives that managed to survive the next big flood / ice age or whatever is on it’s way :-)

This is such an amazing story. And I think there are important lessons to take from it in this digital age. How many of us have physical copies of our work and would be able to leave a legacy such as this… even if it were just to be as a record of our family for future generations? Unfortunately, I doubt we’ll be seeing stories like this 50 years from now.

imo her stuff is some of the best street photography I’ve ever seen, up there with the best of them. Subject, composition, exposure, sharpness, all are pretty damn spot on. I’m not sure what order he is scanning these in but if it’s oldest to most recent I think we’re in for a treat! =) I’m hoping that there is some kind of date on them so that we can see her progression as an artist, that would be pretty awesome. I think this story is so cool because we get to see her entire career all at once (well, as fast as this guy can scan them in). It’s not like anyone has heard of her and was like “hey this woman is a good photographer” and followed her on twitter or followed her blog, it was just BAM, everything right here all at once. It’s just something that might be once in a lifetime for us and I’m pretty excited about seeing all of it.

Very cool, wonder how many other undiscovered great photographs there are out there in attics, basements and storage centers.

Hah ya it’s true, I have never heard of Magnum. I must admit, before Fstoppers I wasn’t connect AT ALL. I’ve never been to a workshop or read a book on photography. When people asked me who my favorite photographer was I didn’t even have a single name that I knew.

This website is helping me much more than it is helping you guys :)

I’m very surprised you haven’t heard of Magnum, Lee. Some of the best out there! :)
