I'm impressed, both by the dedication needed to find, process, preserve, and archive this huge body of work and by the pictures themselves.
If you've ever spent time in a dark room with a weird orange light, a creaky timer, huge negatives, and the joys of shaking developer tanks, you've missed out on something. But only a little.
And those Rolleiflex cameras give big negatives, and I've got an abiding affection for the tonal range of classic black and white films, but the big factor in photographic success is the photographer. What a great eye for great shots.
Wow that's amazing! I think it would be worth the drive to see it! My father would love it too! Just the other day we pulled down all his photos from his AP and news years! It's amazing finding hidden treasures! Such as one of the pictures was of Andy Warhol that he had taken! Those pictures are amazing!

Look for the amateur photographer who died in 2008 before her photos became known
