Comments on: Sally Mann inspires. http://stephanieklebetsanis.com/inspired-by-you/sally-mann-inspires/ Not all who wander are aimless Sun, 18 Sep 2011 09:50:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Eric L Hansen http://stephanieklebetsanis.com/inspired-by-you/sally-mann-inspires/#comment-408 Eric L Hansen Mon, 17 May 2010 19:36:10 +0000 http://stephanieklebetsanis.com/?p=1250#comment-408 Stephanie, I just came across the feature-length documentary film about Sally Mann called “What Remains”. I was so blown away I wanted everyone in the world I know to see it. So I set it up as a free workshop (http://www.ericlhansen.com/the-film-sally-mannwhat-remains-p_22.html). What struck me about both Keith Carter and Sally Mann is how grounded they are in their sense of place. I just want to let that sink in for a minute. Sally Mann grew up on a horse farm in Virgina, married, and now lives on a horse farm in Virginia, where she has photographed around the farm, raised children whom she has photographed on the farm; and so on. She uses an 8x10 view camera and collodion wet plates, so I wouldn’t expect her to be flying around like a photojournalist. But her medium is so matched to her sense of place. I think we could all benefit from (re)considering how our chosen medium links up with our sense of place.

The true essence of childhood, indeed. You're talking about seduction; do you know that she's quite controversial? Some say she's not a very good mother, showing her naked children to the world. I don't think there's anything obscene to it, they're kids! But some object... What do you think? And where did you discover her work? Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion!

I was lucky enough to discover her work earlier this year and was touched by the emotions her black and white pictures of children convey. It is almost as if her camera captures the true essence of childhood - part mischief, part innocence and some kind of seduction. I am deeply touched by her work :) You are so right.
