What's next? Will she produce B&W images from someones color prints?
Seems wrong to me. she should go out and produce some original work of her own !
I think I'm in this camp too... Remember the film colorization mess a
few years back??
I think it's fine for people to hand tint their _own_ photos, but
no matter how skilled she is at doing these they are iconic news
photos and it seems so unnecessary. Especially when most of thes photos
were produced when color photography existed. And before that, there
were paintings in color... bringing the color into bW photos for a
documentary purpose alone, hmm, maybe ok... but this is art for arts
sake it seems, and not her own, as Ken said. I just can't wrap by old
brain around this.
I think I saw some of her work at the Met recently and it pissed me off
then, too.

i enjoyed them; if nothing else, she's bringing attention to certain topics;
her technique is good, but i think her art is more in the selection of photos
and the paradox of drawing us in to the reality of the photos by "faking" the
color
