To be perfectly honest, I don't care for the work that Sally Mann does very much. I think that a lot of her projects or subjects are either morbid or inappropriate. Despite that I do have a huge appreciation for the type of techniques that she uses for photography. I think that in a way she is preserving an old practice, and I think she may be one of very few people who still take photographs that way. I love the types of effects that she can generate, and it was interesting to see her work with her camera and the glass plates. The whole process was neat to see. I admire the patience that she maintains as well. These days everyone wants things to happen as fast and easy as possible, and digital photography is becoming more and more capable of making that happen. Mann takes the time to practice an almost lost art, which takes a lot of patience and dedication to the art.
