I think I like Sally Mann's photography more when she's photographing people. This photo series is more about capturing a feeling of home than about being aesthetically or technically pretty. I felt like this body of photographs works together to evoke that feeling, but the photos on an individual level were kind of disappointing.

The writing was beautiful, and transcendant. I liked it almost more than the photographs, many of which I found capitvating. Being from the North, there is much about the South I will never truly understand, but a number of pivotal life moments happened for me in VA and SC - so seeing the trees and the battlefields the way I remember them - out of time, almost ancient, almost alien - it was like this book was made for me.
