Bown. I know because I made the same mistake for a long time.

Delightful interview. She is so down to earth. And says what she thinks.

Great interview.

She was the original Zuikoholic.

The way she contrived stunningly good portraits with nothing but a Rolleiflex, or (later) an Olympus SLR, 50mm lens and available light verged on alchemy.

"What about digital?" (After confirming her dislike of colour photography."

"Since digital came in.....I went out."

 

[helen.HH]

dropped the 'r' in your Title, 😀

Elsewhere, asked about her technique:

"I have an exposure I like, f2.8 at 1/60th."

Hope the interviewer then was satisfied by that.
