All,

If you have 5 minutes and are into photography, you may want to watch this video. It is an interesting report on a previously unknown woman street photographer who snapped 100,000 photographs over her lifetime, and her works were discovered at an auction from a repossessed storage locker. After looking over some of the photo's the man realized he may have possession of the works from one of the greatest photographer of our time. He was able to track down some of the other individuals who had acquired some of her works, and was able to get most of them for himself. He eventually found her name and doing a search on the internet he discovered her obituary from a few days earlier. I could go on but I think you will want to see it for yourself. I found it fascinating.

I am mostly into nature photography and have never cared much for city sights but this woman was good.I find it hard to believe she didn't know she was good and tried to get her work published.She could have been freed from nannyhood and worked full time on what was obviously her great passion.

I've been following this since it popped. Really an amazing find for that young fellow, and a reminder that for every talented artist who gains fame and recognition there are probably several more equally talented that the world will never know about.

I received this email the other day
