I really wish I could afford to bid on this photo. One of my favorite photographers by another favorite photographer.
From Sally Mann’s Deep South series.
Mann is best known for her large format photographs of her children as they were growing up but her Deep South series is entirely landscape, devoid of people.
I have the book and its been inspiring as I moved out of the city and it started to sink in that I was surrounded by trees instead of buildings. She did that series using wet plate collodion which requires a portable darkroom so working with modern paper negatives seems like a very sissy process indeed.
