No knock on Martha Swope, who is a very talented photographer, but many many photographers work (and have worked) under the company that bears her name, and not all photographs credited to Martha Swope were actually personally taken by her. Which doesn’t change the fact that it’s a great collection and a great legacy of both her work and the business.
