@jean Thanks for sharing! I have read "On Photography" a couple times, and will likely read it again in the future. It's amazing how much of what she wrote back then is still relevant in this very different photography (and videography) landscape.
@JohnBrady Thanks for reading the piece. From this vantage point, I can see that she was entitled to be demanding. She was a foreign language genius. But I was truly afraid of her, and a small section of my hair did go white during that period. Like the rest of it, it really doesn’t make a difference now, 35 years later.
