Program

We'll let Barbara describe her own program...

"My presentation is about the career of a self-taught photographer who entered the then male-dominated fashion photography world as the first woman in a generation. I will show a wide variety of work done throughout that career and discuss how these wonderful projects came about.

"I do not concentrate on the technical side of photography — although I do cite interesting technical aspects when appropriate — rather on the creative, conceptual side of photography, based on my background in fine arts and fashion.

"There are many funny stories, touching stories and professional stories that make up what I hope is an inspirational, entertaining evening."
