What Remains

I spent several days watching the documentary, What Remains, about the life and work of photographer Sally Mann. Sally Mann was the first photographer I was introduced to in my High School photography class. We had a copy of her Immediate Family book in the classroom. After all these years, I find her work even more compelling and intriguing. I had not seen her series, What Remains. This opportunity to see the work and hear her talk about it is inspirational. The theme of life and death is something I've been dealing with in my own series, Inventory of Mortality. Her ability to verbalize what she has gone through in her career, the influence of her father over her life, with her family exposes her completely as a vulnerable, successful artist. I highly recommend this film!
