She was the White House photographer for Reagan, Bush, and Clinton. Most of the exhibit are large silver prints made from Leica M 4 and M6 negs shot on Tri X. She also used a Canon T90 (FD lenses) and an early EOS for telephoto and color work. Her cameras are on display including the most brassed M6 I ever saw. Elsewhere on the Mall is an exhibit of photos of JFK and Jackie as newleyweds living in Georgetown. The photographer is quoted as "grabbing two Leicas..." but the photo of him shows three Contax rfs around his neck. Both exhibits are worthwhile if you get the chance to see them.
