A different kind of photographer and woman: Susan Meiselas

"Pebbles at Manhattan Beach" (from the series Prince Street Girls, 1975-1990) is reproduced from Susan Meiselas: Mediations, published by Damiani to accompany exhibitions at the Jeu de Paume in Paris and SFMOMA. Meiselas photographed her young Soho neighbors "until the girls turned into women, got married and moved away to Staten Island or New Jersey," Kristen Lubben writes. "In those pictures… Meiselas had the time to sit and observe the intimate gestural language between women, and mine it for meaning. She was observing girls becoming women and women striving for self-determination, while also in her own process of transforming into a different kind of photographer and woman."
