August 2006 UTC Abbott is primarily notable as a photographer as the rescuer of the works of Atget as somebody who argued for certain ideals in photography and to a lesser extent as a didactic writer on photography as a poet etc I don t think she s notable as somebody who did or didn t have various love affairs Surprised and dismayed by the percentage of space devoted to the latter I separated it and dumped it in the second half of the article I m now not so sure that this was a good idea for one thing it forces a certain amount of repetition Better I now think to have a more or less chronologically arranged article about her photographic and other achievements that s supplemented where and to an extent appropriate by personal material Comments 00 31 15
