Came across this video about an unknown woman whose photographs are quite intriguing.

If you use Click to Flash, click on the upper left double Flash icon to get the story about how the photos were discovered.

Here's the website that has lots of her images to view.

Read about her on another forum a couple of weeks ago and meant to post links here, but it would appear that I forgot! tongue.gif

This is a very good article that gives quite a bit of interesting detail:

She definitely had the eye and the instincts of a great photographer!  Thanks!

Thanks! I sent the link to my younger grand daughter. She got a nice little camera for Christmas and has been shooting every thing that doesn't run away! rofl.gif Just yesterday, her sister was cutting slices of a star fruit and little sister ran and got her camera and started taking pictures every which way of the thing! wink.gif
<Star fruit Google Image>

If MS Maier had had a digital camera, that fellow might be looking through 100 million images! Or, they might all have been deleted... sad.gif
