by RSLI think Vivian, like most of us who tote a camera, was a mixed bag. She shot some good ones and she shot some crap. Most of the shots of the kids for whom she was caring are pure tourist shots. Most of her abstractions (but not all) are junk. A bunch of her shots of people on the street are fobbed off as street photography by people who don't understand street photography. But then, there's the occasional shot that's good enough to be shown, and, once in a while a shot upon which she could have built a reputation. I suspect the poor woman is spinning in her grave. To me, the real question is: what would she have round-filed and what would she have selected to show had she been able to make the selections herself. I'd be willing to bet the final count would have been much smaller than what I'm seeing in the books I have of her stuff.
