Saw the lead-in for this quite by accident last night on our local NPR station. I then watched the entire program without moving once from my perch. It's very well done. If you watch the credits at the end, I believe one of her sisters had a major hand in the production. If that's true, it's nice to see her family applaud and highlight her talent and great success.

I knew nothing of her briefly mentioned drug use whilst she was an acolyte and photographer to many of the famous rock stars of the past. Great to learn that her family coaxed her into professional assistance which was helpful in motivating her to kick what would surely have been a fatal addiction.

You'll see her use a black M camera (with motor drive) on several available light shoots. And was that an old Leicaflex as seen in one fleeting historical clip from her past?
