  Some beautiful work, my only regret was in discovering it yesterday, upon hearing of her death. Well worth checking out

  True, but perhaps it did as much harm as good, exposure-wise. I know there is a feeling out there that she did not get the same/ deserved exposure as some other Magnum photographers, but then I suppose it is a two-sided coin, and imagine she perhaps also got breaks others may not gotten as easily. A very talented photographer, and one I regret I did not know about earlier.

  I think the image she took of Bresson drawing a self portrait was fantastic, and must seek out more of her work..
