Amazing story about an amazing photographer

Someone posted this on another forum I belong to. Thought some people here might appreciate it, especially if you love street photography. This lady might be in line with some of the greats.

Thank you so much for sharing, wonderful

I have a close connection with Chicago, despite never having lived there. It's a great story and I hope the owner of the negatives and the heirs are able to reach a deal.

Thank you Leslie, what a tremendous find. Her images are simply wonderful to look at... So far the Sept. 7th image is my favorite.

The good news is that it looks like we have years of new images from her as they are developed, scanned and released.

Wow.

Well, I was about to complain about you starting a new thread, when we've already had at least a couple here about her over the last year. However, your link provides a much more detailed story than we've discussed in the past. It would've probably been best to add this link to one of the old threads, but I loved the new info... so, I won't complain. Thanks for the link! Each time I see her work, it gets me excited!!!

I'm glad you shared that, it was really interesting!

Thanks for posting about this. I've just taken a little journey through the internet to find all I can about her work. Awesome story and amazing photography.

The things you just never know... ya know?

Love the work. Thanks.

From another perspective, the guy who bought the negatives, what are the legal/copyright implications here? I wonder how much of a right he has to the use of the photos, are model releases an issue, would her estate have any rights?
