We stood in long silence
Facing her bravery
The nameless abstractions
Quirks of an antique process
Her first way of seeing
Then the avalanche
A photograph is two things:
What it says to the world
And what it says to you
We've built too close to the river
The next flood will take us as well
–– With extractions from a Walker Mimms interview
with the photographer Sally Mann, published
in the New York Times, September, 2025.
