She used his darkroom in San Francisco, I believe, and he helped her, more like taught her, to print. According to him, she was a pretty poor printer. But then, compared to him, 99 percent of the photographers out there are rank amateur printers. :-) The Farm Security Administration retained copyright to the photos because she was a member of their staff. Not a freelancer. We now have access to all her pictures in the archive for a nominal fee. And all the other FSA photographers.
