Summary: Empowering and Groundbreaking
Comment: Mann has focused on a segment of our society that is often ignored, the 12 year old girl. This is especially important work in light of the fact that most girls suffer a dramatic loss of self esteem around the age of 12. More importantly, Mann's photographs reveal the intelligence, intensity, depth, and diversity in girls whom most regard as merely young and silly. Portraits, such as these that reveal so much about the subjects, are extremely interesting. Further, the fact that the subjects consist of a largely invisible segment of society makes the book groundbreaking. In honoring and respecting these girls as worthy subjects of fine art, Mann empowers all girls as well as the viewer.

Summary: profound, disturbing, beautiful
Comment: Sally Mann is one of the most important photographers of the past decade. Her photographs evoke a profound experience of both a personal and a social psychology of the feminine. Her pictures include concerns about puberty and sexuality as well as motherhood and family. How does an artist describe what she truly loves without reducing the person to an aesthetic subject. How does a mother relate to her daughters without denying their autonomy and complexity. These questions are raised again and again in Mann's work. The photographs are muted, sad and beautiful.

Summary: Solidly beautiful pictures
Comment: Maybe I missed something. The pictures are beautiful, and they are supposed to be an attempt to capture the essence of young women on the cusp of becoming adults. What I got was pictures of young women-- missed the whole "becoming" thing. I could just be thick, but this one just passed me by devoid of any emotion.
