Thank you. I rarely take the time to look at street photography, so today following the urls I was surprised and intrigued by her work.

I looked at the first few photographs and the first word that came to mind was atmospheric.

A talented photographer who had a good run and another for me to explore in more detail.

Beautiful work.

Thanks. Not a mere street photog...fashion, portrait, illustration.

Great shot of the bunch of boys in Paris. All tough but the boy at the front on the left is a future Marcel Cerdan if ever I saw one

Sabine Weiss has died, one of the last representative of a certain French photographic tradition.

Sadly, can't find any obituaries in English.

I'll move this to the "Photographers' sub-forum, after the threads are combined.
