Gregory W Blank wrote: In article , Tom Phillips wrote: Hey, I just asked... I won't spill her name, however I can tell you a little more. "I think". Anyway she's a Baltimore native Photographer she worked as a social worker and photographed children from dysfunctional familys, neighborhood children, retarded people she loved and cared for. She was trained in photography and Art at the Maryland Instute. She was also very pretty & of Greek descent. She had a very small amount of published work, she died at approximately age 36 of a massive brain anuresium. The reason I asked is there are many accomplished yet unsung photographers. Our view of our art shouldn't revolve only around the famous. Years ago I did research on western landscape photography. I found references to several important yet virtually unknown photographers who pioneered the American landscape. Ansel Adams "rediscovered" the later work of a Yosemite photographer named George Fisk but the only ones you ever hear about are Muybridge or Watkins, etc. Adams spent a good deal of time and effort to bring Fisk to light and there was even a book published. |

nov2104 from Lloyd Erlick,
Sure is! It's good to hear people get to do stuff like that. No need to divulge details, but it's great to know you're doing it. If they're ever put on public display I hope you'll tell people, even if your name isn't out front. regards, --le ________________________________ Lloyd Erlick Portraits, Toronto. voice: 416-686-0326 email: net: www.heylloyd.com ________________________________ On Sun, 21 Nov 2004 17:21:27 GMT, Some Dude wrote: Thats really cool Gregory.

In any event her mother stated to me that now the National Gallery is interested in acquiring some of the images and is considering them as well for permanent collection.
