Sorry Christine - while the photos are technically good, I find the stiff poses so reminiscent of the worst kind of snapshot that adorns so many family albums. The subjects seem to have been asked to dress in their best and then pose in front of mainly nondescript backgrounds that seldom say anything about them as a person. Just like snaps of me taken by my grandmother when I was seven. I browsed through several galleries, and they are so consistent in this style that it becomes boring, even though the individual people are often interesting, and I would love to know their story. In addition, the prose is self-indulgent in the extreme, and the use of capitals for every word is just so "artsy" it made me unwilling to read it!
She could win the next Turner Prize with this work! My apologies for being so negative, I guess I just don't get it here.

I enjoy Winship's work & hadn't been to her site in a while & just now was treated to this lovely, elegant collection. Apparently, Winship was in the UK last October.
