Jane prefers silence to talking – her mantra has always been, “photographers should neither be seen nor heard”. Her slight stature made it easy for her to blend into the surroundings, always vigilant and observing from the periphery. And all the time her eyes are scanning, darting here and there like those of a small bird.
