During my visit to California I visited the Museum of Modern art in San Francisco. I was really pleased to see that work by Francessca Woodman was being exhibited. She was such a creative photographer, predominantly using her own body as her subject.. I wouldn't call them self portraits myself. I found her Diazotypes very beautiful, a much more painterly effect created during the long exposure of the negative onto paper. I audaciously put myself into the picture! sharing a moment of the exhibition. Tragically Woodman died at 22 when she took her own life, difficulty in obtaining funding for her work was suggested to be a strong contributor.
