Thanks for posting.
I have the utmost respect for this photographer. She is someone I think about often when I make photographs, even though nothing hints at or comes close to her accomplishments in my own attempts.
I wonder if she made her early images of the kids with wet plates, or ordinary pre-packaged film at that time?
I love some of her images, while others make me want to throw up.

Wow! Now I'm beginning to see the light with regards to those funky old lenses you-all go on about so much! It's amazing what the muse can create with the most primitive of tools.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
Some of her work I love, some I like less, but she is always evolving, never stagnant. It seems many artists, when they find a style that has commercial success, simply stick with that style. Sally Mann is not one.
I get the strong impression that the family photos were done with 8X10. I've never heard of her using a Hasselblad. I am no authority, though. Thinking back now, I remember looking through the 8X10 contact prints of the family photos at the Houk Gallery, so I will say definitely 8X10.

I won't say that I'm a big fan of Sally Mann's photographs, but I respect her tremendously for being truthful and honest and willing to do things that other people may not like. She doesn't seem to be overtly looking for approval, and that's a hard road to go down. She's likely a lot tougher than I am.

Politically, aerodynamically, and fashionably incorrect.
