This takes me back. I first heard of Clarence Laughlin in the early 1950's from Dody Weston. Clarence had photographed her as a teenager in New Orleans where she was born. Later, in 1959, I visited Dody's mother in New Orleans and learned more about her friend Clarence and his work.
I enjoy looking at his photographs. Edward (Weston) was not a fan; however, Imogen more so with her own multiple negative prints, and her deviation from the f.64 school.
Thanks for bringing to our attention the important work of Clarence Laughlin.
Dody was eighteen when the photo below was made.
