This is a treat. It’s called Portrait of Imogen. It’s a wonderful little documentary in which the only spoken voice is that of Imogen Cunningham. She talks of her family, Edward Weston, Alfred Stieglitz, Martha Graham, Dorothea Lange, and her life in photography. Anybody interested in the history of photography must watch this. Excellent videos.
