I took a workshop in Maine a good 12 or 13 years ago now. MEM was teaching
the workshop in the room next door for the whole week. Apart from apparently
managing to make almost every one of her class cry (including the guys) from
the "rigour" of her criticism, she was toting a Hasselblad along with her
Leica M's
