It was in a small gallery in San Francisco. I enjoyed it very much. I was so impressed with how she was able to capture the essence of the people she photographed. It was a real gift.

I haven't seen the documentary yet. Thanks for the reminder. I'd forgotten about it!

I liked it when the guy being interviewed near the end who had acquired quite a few of her photographs said he was going to give a 3rd of them away to the best recipients, those subjects in the streets.

What a talent.
