Thank for sharing profile of kind and caring person who was pulled into photography through her love of jazz and expanded her vision.wonderful story. Also from Milwaukee, I listen to jazz on late night radio and understand the attraction; i spent short time living in New York hanging around jazz clubs,but didn’t start photographing jazz musicians until I moved to Madison .
Thank you so much for sharing that video. Ms. Clark is lovely and so charming. Her commitment to making photographs is clear as she speaks. And I appreciate how understated she is while talking about her photographic subjects. I will show this to my students!
Thanks for sharing that, just delightful. I just retired as a designer for the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art where I had the honor of working closely with their amazing photography collection. I can really appreciate her connection to the museum, as well as photography and music.
I was moved by the thought of her spending the night in jazz clubs and then taking the subway home alone to Sunnyside in the early hours of the morning.
Right? Picturing this young, confident woman doing her thing in 1950s/60s NYC was inspiring. She mentioned how safe it was back then. Sad to hear it's not so anymore. Another story of a Lost America.
Thank you for sharing this great story. A woman from Wisconsin! goes to NYC in part because of her love of jazz! and becomes a jounalist-photographer-curator.
Thank you for the share this morning. It too made my coffee hour! What an incredible story, talk about a time in history preserved with her donation to The Met. You could see the passion and emotion in her as she handled the cameras.
OMG, she's great. Best part, when she pats her Leica. "Nice," she says.
I loved that. Such affection for those beautiful machines. A genuine passion.

Wonderful! Do you know April Watson? I worked with her and Jane Aspinwall on a portraiture show many years ago.
How genuinely sweet! I love her!
Really enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing. What a nice vibe after such hard days.
I thought so too. Fortifying our souls, right?
Indeed it did!
She is wonderful.
I agree. A beautiful soul. I love that she moved to NYC from Milwaukee to pursue her passion for jazz music. That's wonderful.
