She was a pioneering psychoanalyst, one of the first women (or perhaps, in fact, the very first woman) to ever get an MD degree from the University of Chicago. In recent years she established a foundation which was responsible for sponsoring a series of concerts in her living room featuring a combination of new young international talent in the classical music world and a number of splinter groups (duos, trios & quartets) from the Chicago Symphony. When I picked up the message last Thursday about her passing, I gotta say that I felt lucky to have her images on film and not just in some ephemeral, binary form. http://www.pbase.com/bobsworld/marjorie_barnett Although these snaps may not mean as much to those who didn't know her they might serve as yet more evidence to some that film-loading M's are a really valued tool for many of us.
