Elsa Gidlow at a Country Women
festival, Mendocino Woodlands, 1974. Photographed by Lynda Koolish. She
told Josephine Withers: "It violates every photographic rule there is.
One, I used Tri-X film [a fast, grainy film] in bright daylight. Two, I
photographed a very old person using very harsh light. Everything you're
not supposed to do. And there it was, she was so lovely."
