Sally Mann is definitely an interesting character. She obviously is a very strong and independent person who does what she wants and says what she thinks. i really like her immediate family work because it is so natural and real. i am insulted that people would call it kiddy porn, tht is very ignorant and short sighted. her work on death was creepy but it was very realistic and very open. there is no reason for us to be afraid of death, it is ineveitable and she took it head on and found a weird beauty in it. she is very original in my opinion for coming up themes like this. i wouldn't necessarily call her self centered as dan put it but a person who is sure of themselves and what they want to do and this conveyed through her photography. she takes the things which surround her, be it a dead person or dog, her kids, her ailing husband and turns it into art. it is quite remarkable that her mind works the way it does and finds art in the most obscure or common places in which no one would think of it before.
