Probably didn't need the qualifier. She's just a top woman.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.65402-1866832Tue, 09 Oct 2007 10:52:08 -0800found missingBy: Greg Nog

I actually don't like the female qualifier. She was one of the world's best photojournalists. In the biz, we really don't divide ourselves into gender categories.

The link to "portfolio" brings up her gallery. The first image in that gallery, of Baghdad under black smoke, is particularly jarring. It's like the city is being crushed by the very fact of it's destruction. Her other photos of Iraq and equally haunting.

english is not my 1st language, sorry. the purpose of the post was to honor an extraordinary person who is no longer with us. I guess deconstructing the (bad) post is more fun than commenting on her incredible work. cheers.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.65402-1867014Tue, 09 Oct 2007 12:52:31 -0800igBy: found missing

This isn't about the nuances of English grammar, which you seem to have mastered. It's about detracting from her accomplishments, albeit inadvertently, by categorizing her according to gender. Now, on with the dots...comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.65402-1867041Tue, 09 Oct 2007 13:18:19 -0800found missingBy: heatherann

That quicktime slideshow was gorgeous. I don't think a male photographer would have had as much access to those women's world, and I'm glad she took the time to explore it and share it with us.

ig, the use of 'woman' vs 'female' as an adjective has also been a topic of discussion here, so don't take it personally. Thanks for the lovely post.

Ah, what a loss. That slide show is simply amazing. Thank you for the post, ig - your links are a fine tribute.
Please don't be put off by the comments, I am sure I am not alone in wishing you would post here more often.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.65402-1867602Tue, 09 Oct 2007 20:51:37 -0800madamjujujive
"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law.

Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet.
