I saw her images at SFMOMA. One part of me generally agrees with BD - in
the modern photography world circa 2012, what gets most attention in the
art photography world are the "artsy" stuff. I think someone here mentioned
that Eggelston was the beginning of the end, and I tend to agree. Some of
these photographs, while I agree are artsy, bore me to tears. Pretension is
important too. But this is what the art market buys, and what will win
competitions and what galleries will show.

Back to her stuff :-) It's a style - supposedly it presents a more intimate
view of the subject, as they say YMMV
