I actually don't like the female qualifier. She was one of the world's best photojournalists. In the biz, we really don't divide ourselves into gender categories.
The link to "portfolio" brings up her gallery. The first image in that gallery, of Baghdad under black smoke, is particularly jarring. It's like the city is being crushed by the very fact of it's destruction. Her other photos of Iraq and equally haunting.
english is not my 1st language, sorry. the purpose of the post was to honor an extraordinary person who is no longer with us. I guess deconstructing the (bad) post is more fun than commenting on her incredible work. cheers. posted by ig at 12:52 PM on October 9, 2007
This isn't about the nuances of English grammar, which you seem to have mastered. It's about detracting from her accomplishments, albeit inadvertently, by categorizing her according to gender. Now, on with the dots... posted by found missing at 1:18 PM on October 9, 2007
That quicktime slideshow was gorgeous. I don't think a male photographer would have had as much access to those women's world, and I'm glad she took the time to explore it and share it with us.
Ah, what a loss. That slide show is simply amazing. Thank you for the post, ig - your links are a fine tribute.
Please don't be put off by the comments, I am sure I am not alone in wishing you would post here more often. posted by madamjujujive at 8:51 PM on October 9, 2007
