Tonight I attended a presentation by Joanne Leonard about the work encompassed in her book,
Being in Pictures: An Intimate Photo Memoir. Ms. Leonard is a renowned photographer who recently retired from her professorial position in the School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan. She entered the field of photography in the 60's when it was still a male-dominated field. Within the book are stunningly personal photographs including one of a former husband shaving and others of people sleeping. Particularly artful is
Sonia, 1966, a photograph of her very pregnant sister-in-law that is still highly praised for Ms. Leonard's use of light.

Hi Terri,
ReplyDeleteI know Joanne! I love her work. Wish I had known about this presentation. Perhaps, I could have squeezed out the time to attend with you. Thanks for writing. Keep it up. ET
