In Response to Place - Photographs of Sally Mann

"In Response to Place" in association with the Nature Conservancy is narrated by Joanne Woodward and takes a look at some of the most beautiful places on earth through the eyes and lenses of the world's greatest nature photographers. Having recently switched from picturing her children as subjects to landscape, Sally Mann chose to travel to the Yucatan and use color film in her antique, large format camera for the first time. The Calakmul Reserve is the northern end of the largest remaining forest in Mexico and Central America

Cigarette was a candy cigarette. It is the eye of the beholder. I have an entire summer of photos of my kids and in every one they're naked--we call it the naked summer-- they just shed clothes as unnecessary to their 3 and 4 yo country lives. Mann's work is amazing.

I'm pretty sure it's a candy cigarette. I believe it says so it the documentary about her called "What Remains."

I like her work very much,I found another artist that works in 19th century photographic processes, name of artist is Zia Ayub . . .website: ziaayub.com

@effceeyoukay I know this comment was in response to another's criticism, but it sure reveals the poster's preoccupation with appearance. Of all you could think to say about the artist, you ponder that the artist is "still" rather attractive "for her age," you're "pretty sure she was a very beautiful woman (physically)" (in her younger years, of course), and finally, you comment on the "exceptional good looks" of the artist's kids. Respectfully, I would suggest that YOUR focus needs readjusting.

@bolderiks agree.

exude, orve, faraway, don't know why, important, color, symbolic, old, I didn't want, timelessness, wonderful, unique, beautiful, photography. That's what she said. The advertisement was more interesting. How's the endowment treating you?

[netando]

I don't like her work but I love that she does it, if that makes sense. It's not my thing but I think true art is not trying to please the masses, but doing what you feel is right, in that I love her work.

[Andre00x]

I think she's a great photographer and I love the way she thinks.

@jun7per It could be just me being biased, but I think Sally Mann was (& still is) a rather attractive woman for her age. I'm pretty sure she was a very beautiful woman (physically) in her younger years..all her Jesse, Emmett and Virginia in my honest opinion are exceptionally good looking people.

[iwitchhunter]

ok, but the collodian doesn't process itself.. it's a technique that takes a certain amount of skill to master.

maybe she isn't the best photographer, but she's a very good printer and a great artist.

@jun7per Her looks are irrelevent but I get your point - fine art photography makes you think only luck separates the winners from the losers.

She actually does have some incredible images too. I'm not a big fan of backyard kids' stuff (as art) but "Shiva at Whistle Creek" is a great photograph. Its sense of motion, space and perspective as well as the deep contrast draw the viewer in. The composition isn't my favorite but that's obviously subjective and she's hardly using a point-n-shoot.
