She passed away last fall, but her archives of decades of photos were discovered a couple years ago. They are mostly of Chicago in the 50s and 60s. She was a French immigrant who came here and fell in love with movies and her camera.  (Thank you, mldeed, for posting the european blog link, which started this webquest.)

The gentleman who bought them  has created a wonderful blog, on which he is posting a great many of her pictures... he still has thousands to go...

An article with more about the gentleman and his inspiration... it's a neat and also enigmatic story... ezsha


(She liked to photograph people... I hope this guy was careful... urban pf bait, for sure! Cheesy)
