Photography

Francesca Woodman. I'd not known of her until your post today littlemisssmartypants. Amazing photographer.

She took this self-portrait when she was 13.


From the little I've read and pictures I've seen Woodman was an unusal photographer. But not for long.

* "At the age of 22, after a period of depression, some apparent setbacks in her career and the end of a relationship, she threw herself from a window in New York."

"We will never know how Francesca Woodman’s work might have developed. But the prolific body of photographs that she left behind, though fully realized, speaks to a young artist finding her way. In turn, Woodman laid the foundation for women to self-inquire by turning the camera on themselves."

It's like for her short life Woodman was haunted, driven, misunderstood. I can appreciate the uniqueness of her art, but hers was a sad story.
