Sally Mann: Hold Still
One of the most influential and evocative photographers of our time, Sally Mann’s arresting memoir, "Hold Still," a National Book Award finalist and winner of the Carnegie Medal, is filled with photographs and unforgettable stories. Her unique aesthetic style graces every page: this is a book by someone who gazes steadily at the world through prose of unusual honesty about the most basic realities: family, region, and passion. Come hear her discuss how she navigates the interplay between text and picture as well as the significance of both in conveying memory.
