Great find. Congratulations.
I find some similarity with the story of Kafka, with their differences. Obviously.

Even if I had the eye, which I don't, I'm most certainly missing the chutzpah. What a great word! _________________ Peter - Moderator |

Back then, of course, the photographer wasn't seen as weird or threatening (unless they were actually weird or threatening individuals, of course) and people generally didn't mind having their pictures taken in the street. Indeed, it was an unusual occurence and many people still regarded it as something a little bit special, possibly even being slightly flattered that someone regarded them as worth photographing. _________________ Dave - Moderator

That's very true. But I wonder whether the reaction would be more like that today if we were using a TLR like Vivian, instead of an SLR. I've only tried it once, in Holland, and I kept being stopped by people wanting to know about the camera, not angry at being snapped. Think I might give it another go! _________________ Peter - Moderator |

He's doing a book, a film (which already has $36,733 in Kickstarter funding- with 22 more days to go!) and the first exhibit is starting in Chicago today.
As long as no heirs show up, it's a goldmine!
Great work though. She seemingly did it for herself and perhaps never even sought out exhibits or publication. |

I'll definitely buy a book of her work, hopefully will be done with high

I think a waist-level finder helps a lot. And if you want to try street photography today you need something that either blends in, like a mobile phone, or looks like a mad obsession, like a folding camera. A DSLR looks too serious. |
I do this all the time, to the horror of whoever I'm with, with the sony Nex-5--which can used from the waist as the LCD is sharp and flips up.
This is about three feet away, as I pretended to show my friend some shots, with a sony SAM 35mm f/1.8, MF and the in-camera B&W. Image is croped to about 2/3 size, otherwise no PP. Nothing great obviously--but they never had a clue.
I get a kick out of the she-leopard intensity in her eye. _________________ Making MFlenses safe for the letter *L* |

I think that's a great method to do unnoticed photos.
Unfortunately I don't have a camera with flip screen.
Do I really have to buy a Sony?
It also changes the perspective nicely, because the camera is lower.
Cool shot! _________________ Best wishes, Wieland
