It just so happens that I have just dropped a blog post highlighting the work of Tish Murtha, and how connections with photographers can deepen the bond with their work.
You may rightly ask "who the heck is Tish Murtha"? Tish was a documentary photographer who captured social issues throughout her life, and is only now getting the recognition she deserves.
Here's a link to the post, if nothing else you may be interested in watching the (excellent) linked YouTube video by Sean Tucker that explains what Tish's life taught him about photography.

Highly recommend Alan's blog post. It's a great read, and Tucker's video is good as well!
