I've even had a print of mine shown with her work a few years ago in a New Orleans group show, but still no cigar. I have some young artist friends here in Albuquerque that I probably need to chat up to get their thoughts about her. She received the prestigious Hasselblad Award in 2007, which puts her in some pretty rare company, so I'd at least like to make an effort to understand her work better. My daughter has a BFA in photography from 2005 so she could probably share some thoughts from an academic perspective. Of course, understanding and liking are two different things. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085
