I bought this book after hearing an interview on NPR. It was a show stopper! I haven't been about to put it down. I am so inspired by Dorothea, a woman who faced so many setbacks. And yet she moved forward as a photographer, a woman, a wife, a mother. She was not successful at everything she did and yet her passions drover her on until the end of her life.
As a photographer, her work gave dignity and clarity to her subject. Instead of creating syntamental photographs and dragging people emotionally into a story. She seduced them with complex imagery of people you wanted to learn more about.
This a photographers must read! Buy it and be inspired!!
