She has lived in New York City since 1995, married and raising her two, now college-aged daughters.

The Grammar of Photography by Christopher Giglio, (From the ICP catalog)

Based on ideas suggested in two seminal writings on photography, John Szarkowski’s The Photographer’s Eye and Stephen Shore’s The Nature of Photographs, this class functions as a primer of visual literacy for photographers. Through weekly shooting assignments, lectures, and critiques, students learn about balance, tempo, ways of organizing space, the significance of geometric structure, and why the edges of the frame are important. In-class exercises examine how we see what we see, and enable participants to produce stronger, clearer pictures.
