Very interesting snapshots of a lifetime in a closed system. Sad that a political system could destroy her talent. Glad the negs are coming to light.

Interesting article - thanks for posting

Funny, I'm going through the same issues. I have a fairly complete Nikon setup (F5, N8008, F3) & a couple of lenses. I'm looking at expanding the Nikon lenses but all the ones I want as pretty far outside my price range right now. Pentax offers some interesting options at lower prices but I've...
