Early Autumn in the Bog

Bayou Bog

Had a great morning walking through the Byron Bog last weekend.
Here are some of the pictures - can't believe how dense it is and
how much it feels like the bayou.

Loooovvvvvv Sally Mann

Have loved Sally Mann's photography for years.

Born in Lexington, Virginia, Mann's intimate and
evocative images capture the spirit of childhood
in rural America.

Her books include:

At Twelve: Portraits of Young Women

Immediate Family

Diane Arbus and Lisette Model

Lisette Model, Austrian-born American photographer,
inspired her best known pupil Diane Arbus with a direct
and uncompromising focus on her subjects.

Both of these women captured the noble dignity of the
disenfranchised, those on the fringes, "freaks" as
Arbus refered to them.

'Most people go through life dreading they'll have a traumatic
experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They've
already passed their test. They're aristocrats.' - DA
