Documentary about the Waterford photographer Annie Brophy.
She worked as a photographer at a time when few people in Ireland had access to cameras and the City council now has an archive of over 65,000 images from the 1920's up to the 1960's.

Fascinating woman and history, she was a true achiever in an unwelcoming time for women to be seen as enterpreneurs.

I believe there may be an exhibition of her work in the Library in Waterfod at the moment

I've seen two of her exhibitions in the Library and in Christchurch Catherdral, Waterford. A true visionary, she hand-coloured some prints and the detail and clarity was stunning. They're up there with those colour photos of Russia 100 years ago IMHO.

Very little available about her:
