Sally Mann - CLAIMED

Morgan Beard and I settled on Sally Mann for our research project.  So far, we have just started picking scholarly articles for background and career information, including her published works and some of the controversy behind her name.  One article discusses Mann's photographs of her own children, all under the age of ten.  Sexualizing Children: Thoughts on Sally Mann questions the intentional sensual tone given to her children in her work and what purpose/reaction she is trying to achieve both as a mother and as a photographer. The picture below is one of the less sexualized images.

  1. Hi Shani, thanks for this post. Your source looks like a good one, but you're making some formatting mistakes. Look again at my guidelines for citing a journal article and fix those italics/parentheses issues. You shouldn't need the "Skidmore College" bit at the end of your entry, nor do you need the JSTOR url (see my comment on Sarah's post re: JSTOR urls.) You can either edit your post or repost the citation as a comment here.
