Glad to see she is still around.
Sally is the absolute best at articulating the environment and narrative behind her work.
'One chimpanzee' I will remember that next time I make an exposure.
Sally makes photos that capture past, present and a future. Not the technical excellence of modern photography that is becoming inhuman and grotesque. Perfection is a sad trail.. Bravo Sallie
Oh my! Sally Mann speaks with photographs in ways that push the boundaries of the medium. Wow.
lovely vid, so filled with feeling and life...
Thank you, it made my day to a hold. I've prepared my spot by the fire, with a tea and everything and then I soaked in every word and image said in that short movie. Wonderful. Thank you!
So true and marvellous
Thank You Sally, I love your Art, Phots, Same Train of Thinking, Your Car, and Best Companion! Brad Holmes Tai Chi Gold Coast and B Rad Designs
Wow! Great video, i loved the work of Sally Mann and i've loved this approach to her work. Thank you so much from Spain
Would love to be in that dark room for a day. How she made these images speak was wonderful to watch.
Ps the sound on my phone was perfect.
4:01 the quote that Sally Mann read is copied below.
“It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive.”
James Baldwin - The Doom and Glory of Knowing Who You Are, Life Magazine, May 24, 1963
This inspires me so when it's my turn to be spot lighted for I have been reclusive for the past 10 years mostly due to being a single parent of two teenage kids a boy and girl for the past 9 years with no help whatsoever from my ex wife for after 10 years Im ready to get back to creating new works of art all I need is the right gallery for my 100 art pieces of artwork that I have managed to obtain after for much hardship for I never gave up on myself to make a better life for my kids and to move into my country house after my world wide art exhibit coming to a neighborhood near you.
How wonderful!
I wish i had that room
South River road in Stanardsville Virginia. You are called to capture it. almost every day.
Beautiful
LEGEND.
@7:56, the picture of Bill at the foot of his stairwell... stood there many times, sans the fire stick.
Incredible !
I fkin love her so much
I find a place and then I'll spend a while walking around, soaking it in and waiting for that moment.
America is a adrift in communication, we only communicate when forced too or if we are tearing another person down. I have an 8x10 camera found at a junk shop, and thought about Sally. I like how she uses the camera to capture images and want to learn about the techniques and chemicals used to make those images.
It’s easy
She is looking more like a God as years pass
What does she want to say? That you have to step out and stay for a while? That you have to take an impression with you and try to share it with other people? That is not a bad purpose for an artist.
I could have sworn I read that she had passed. Imagine my surprise.
When out in the field there is a close-up of the front of the camera and lens. Can anyone read what type and size the lens is?
Looks to be an old Wollensak lens, maybe a Velostigmat from the 20's or 30"s. Most likely uncoated. I have an almost identical-looking lens (without the dented front ring) that is 15 1/2" (about 395mm) with a max aperture of 4.5 fitted with a Packard shutter. I'm also using mine on an 8x10 Deardorff. Good lenses and not too expensive - yet!
@@JamesMartin-vm2zo Thank you. So you think she's using a 15 1/2" (395) also?
@@gencofilmco Hard to tell for sure, but based on the relative size of the lens it's probably 12" or more in focal length, which means it's approximately a "normal" lens for 8x10. Wollensak made similar-looking lenses over several decades up to 19+ inches. Also, lenses with enough coverage for 8x10 tend to fall in this range. Longer lenses often will cover even larger formats, but those can be hefty beasts.
@@JamesMartin-vm2zo Thanks man. Very much appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Maybe they changed the sound, I have poor hearing and struggle with many videos but could hear everything she said clearly. But oh, to have such an eye, I love the idea of making photographs but have the same artistic talent as your standard house brick.
A national hero.
The shooting is great, but I have difficulty in hearing clearly what she said. The sound quality is not good.
Sounds like she has a natural 'eye' for good composition
"Generation, ancestry and genetics...kinship, togetherness, union.." These are words that also describe Tribalism.
They can unite us only if we see all of Humanity as our tribe...not just those who share our appearance, language, beliefs, traditions.
she wrongly replaced the dark slide
你好！看你的照片。我比较喜欢！
Hello! Look at your photos. I prefer it!
Love learning more about Sally Mann but why does is the audio of her interview SO BAD?!? you make the effort to make nice pictures but then use on camera microphone. Invest the small amount of money in a cheap clip on mic and you'll never regret it. Good luck.
You trippin
@@karstenobrietan9644 little dramatic but this evan dude has got a point. the audio is dog water
“You make the effort to make nice pictures” what? Invest ? What ? Sally Mann is not a UA-camr photographer wannabe … she is a real artist and probably one of the latest living photographers legends.
Go to watch one of those glossy UA-camrs with all the gear and gadgets … This is about art not about mics.
Your comment is disrespectful.
@@jmbaug1229 I’m assuming they meant the people making the video 🙄
Wonder why she didn't flip her dark slide when she put it back in the film holder after exposing. That's an easy way to make a mistake.
She embraces mistakes and is a legend
All this production value, only to be ruined such bad sound... did they even used a microphone?
I am not convinced.
Of?
If only she were mute.
Why is that?
Hard to listen this bs.
Why?
What a bunch of pretentious baloney with the usual anti-American slant...
James Baldwin and the question of what brings humans together is one of the most American things that there is.
truly a waste of platinum
How so?
