Because of the controversy she stirred in her use of nude pictures of her children in the early 90s, that topic will be of most interest to the average reader. The resolution is poor in this presentation so don’t consider this book for a reasonable window into her art. This version and the ebook one comes with a pdf file of several hundred images to illustrate her story, including family snapshots, historical images, and examples that reveal the stages in the development of her themes in photography.
Her narration of her account in the audiobook version made this experience personal and more powerful. For me this was a treat to experience a photographer I admire looking back at her life to try to identify the influences on her identity and craft in the rural geography and community of her home in Lexington, Virginia, and the diverse threads of heritage from various branches of her family.
