    I sincerely hope that we'll be able to purchase a book of her work soon.
    I don't understand why Maloof doesn't offer some prints for sale to help fund the project.

    I hope no one takes this the wrong way but I think technically Maloof is in over his head since he has been involved in digital darkroom work for a relatively short period of time, though we all should be thankful of his efforts to save her work. Imagine if these negatives had been thrown into a dumpster.

    Hopefully, eventually, the work will past to a large institute to be preserved.

    It's a wonderful body of work which I'm enthralled with. I look forward to seeing a book (actually I think several books will be in order).

    This is really terrific work. Does anyone know if the images presented have been cropped? The tightness of the compositions is amazing, and the square format is perfect.

    Extraordinary work, amazing discovery. Next to epiphany, serendipity is my favorite thing!!

    I've now found another thing to do on my day in Chicago before training to Flagstaff and DV etc.

    I'd love to attend, but I'll be celebrating Russian Christmas in Idaho.

    So many of the images remind me of Cartier-Bresson. This lady was a truly an artist with a tremendous eye!

    And some of the images remind me of Arbus as well. Some of them seem iconic and yet remind me of no one. Truly amazing stuff.

    Wow, what a amazing find! Stunning work indeed. Right up there with Evans, Atget, and more. This lady could very well become one of the top 3 female photographer of the 20th century.Her work is that good, IMO.
