tim_atherton2 Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Just saw Sally Mann on Charlie Rose tonight talking about her new book Fascinating photographs and an intriguing photographer (I love her technique - "I don't have a light meter and I just pop my hand in front of the lens and guess 1/2 a second, two seconds.."). Great and inspiring stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_morris Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 I have had the oppurtunity to see some of Ms. Mann's work in a gallery, some of her "Immediate Family" series and her later landscapes from Virgina and Georgia. Most, if I remember correctly, of the landscapes I saw were 30"-plus by 40"-plus. I must say that reproductions in books do not compare with seeing the actual prints. Her current work, which utilizes 8x10 camera, old lens, collidion (SP?) wet plate process, and tea staining is both deceptive and inspiring. It is easy to think that sloppy technique is involved, but she has control of her techniques, and the results are strong emotional statements.
