I could kick myself for not buying two exceptional platinum prints of hers for $2000 apiece. But that would have been a lot of money for a college student back then who could barely afford textbooks. I can hardly think of anyone who handled the medium more compellingly, if you view her prints in person. Good thing she had a rich husband; but even he struggled with her platinum budget. Their dinner guests included a lot of famous people, who dreaded getting roped into long camera sessions. But it was her own domestic staff of maids who comprise some of the finest compositions. Yeah - the genre of costuming and posing has been criticized for being too predictably of the "pre-Raphaelite" rage of the Victorian era; but despite that, she somehow transcended that and turned things into something magical.
