I'd intended to send this to the entire list, but inadvertantly sent it to
the original sender instead (which must have seemed rather odd - why's this
weirdo addressing me in the third person?).

I was going to mention the AP aticle, but Gary beat me to it (and added a
very good set of links as well).
Her pictures are indeed superb, and in some cases (such as the Samuel
Beckett portrait) have become the definitive image of their subject. I love
the simplicity of approach (a single lens, no flash) but I strongly suspect
that she has the kind of talent that makes her achievements look easy. "I
could do that," you think, but when you try it yourself the results are
never quite so good.

Somehow I don't see her as a Zuikoholic...
