Fox was born in
Woodside, New York. Throughout her career and with an archive of over 130,000 works, she photographed various subjects in New York City. Her work was in the permanent collection of the
Brooklyn Museum and the
Smithsonian. Her images have appeared in
Life Magazine, New York Magazine and been exhibited in Paris, London, Barcelona and Mexico. Fox had also been interviewed on several talks shows, including
Regis and Kathy Lee and
Tom Snyder. Photographer
Richard Young credited Fox with "giving [him] the confidence to pick up the camera". During the early 1980s, she hosted her own show called the
Foto Flo Show, interviewing other photographers such as
Ruth Orkin and
Ralph Gibson on their work and their creative methods. Riley Hooper made a short
documentary film,
Flo, which was featured in The New York Times in 2013. Fox was a
disability advocate and had taught photography class for the blind and visually impaired students at the
Lighthouse for the Blind. Despite blindness, multiple sclerosis, and lung cancer, she continued to photograph the streets of New York City. == References ==
