Heidi:

 

The NBS mural no longer exists—good guess on your part! Bourke-White used many different cameras over her career as a photographer. So we can’t really single one out. Because she is well known as a technical innovator, she often tried out different cameras. She was, however, quite committed to large-format cameras and used cameras that would produce transparencies 4/5 and larger.

Hi Patricia,

 

I would like to find answers to some questions that visitors have asked the docents:

 

What type of camera did MBW use? (I think this will be a common question)

 

Does the NBC mural still exist? I think the answer is no?
