She was born and raised on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, attended Cornell and Columbia, and traveled extensively in South America before settling in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her more recent travels have included Asia (India, the Silk Route in Western China and Pakistan) and East Africa.
She is married to writer and historian Dennis McNally and lives in San Francisco, where she is an activist on behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union and other progressive causes. Photographic thoughts and philosophy In photographing entertainment, art, and dance, the transcendent moments for me are when I become one with the subject matter of the photos and my rhythm of shooting entrains with the rhythm of the piece. My best work of documentation occurs when I share the creative energy of the subject and my photographs provide an evocative memory of the experience. As a location photographer, no matter what the subject matter, my goal is not to provide an image of formal perfection but rather to capture what Cartier-Bresson called the decisive moment. My photographic heroes are Robert Frank, Sebastian Salgado, William Eggleston, and Andres Gursky. |
