I didn't realize she only went full=time in '99, but I sure noticed that she has only been out of college since 1992 and has already picked up more awards that most people get in a life-time. She is definitely someone to watch. BUT - come on, it's ME, you knew there had to be a BUT.... I was somewhat bothered by how very weak the caption material was with the B&W essay on female circumcision. She seemed to accept it at face value, and failed to provide any context, or point out how controversial a practice it is. This may have to do with her youth and general inexperience, but it is disturbing none the less. On the other hand, the photos were terrific. B.
