Today's New York Times has an interesting article in it about a fascinating 
woman.

Ruth Gruber is best known as a print journalist, but she certainly knew (and 
at 99 still knows) what to do with a camera.

And she's the subject of a new documentary.

Here's the article (accompanied by photos showing her with her Leica in 1941 
and in 2010):

Here's a link to a slideshow of her work.  (You'll see that she also shot 
squares.):
