@MarcDavenant Fell foul of the FBI and McCarthy for her political activism.
@MarcDavenant Them were the days. No health and safety restrictions back then!
@MarcDavenant This is so frightening in its evocation of height & precarious perching I have to not look at it long, in spite of it being wonderful.
@MarcDavenant One of my all time fave photographers. Iirc this was her capturing a DC-4 at low level over the city. Her early work was photographing furnaces and her experimentation and film labs and experimentation with film and chemicals is fascinating.
@MarcDavenant I get vertigo just looking at that (not an exaggeration). I wonder if we can identify the photograph she was taking?
@MarcDavenant C'est la scène du film de men in Black 3 je sais pas si vous l'avez vu quand Will Smith il monte sur la tête et après se jette dans le vide 😅
@MarcDavenant ... and who was taking the photograph of the photographer - and how?
