I ~love~ MGB - I sure wish the exhibit could hold on for another month
or so, until my (hopefully) anticipated arrival.

Her photo of the black gold miners in South Africa is one of the most
moving I've ever seen.  Not to mention her Concentration Camp photos
taken during their liberation after WWII.

I envy that you had the opportunity to see it.

cheers,
