Michael -

The site is based on a Flash program, which I usually don't like; however,
this one is very effective.  If you want to see some of her work without
the Flash, just put her name into Google.  Here is the Agfa site with her
photographs:
http://www.agfanet.com/en/cafe/portfolio/pf200111/cont_02.php3?mode=archive
but it is not the most recent stuff which looks more painterly to me.

I think it must be more than just the film, but I have looked at every
Google connection and can't find out her cameras or lenses.  The technology
is not as important as the content, but I would love to know how she gets
that look.
