Lillian Bassman

I was doing a little bit of web based research yesterday, when I stumbled across pure genius! Lillian Bassman, is AMAZING! She was a photographer during the 50's and 60's and she was one of those strong independent women who didn't care about the way society saw her and her work, I really admire women like that. She uses bleaching and blurring techniques to manipulate her photos in the darkroom. Kind of makes me want to go back to darkroom photography to try some of these techniques that she does but the smell of the chemicals really get to me after awhile, oh well, if I ever get the chance, maybe I will try.

These are some of her FANTABULOUS works:

Classy! is it not? and so totally me, I think I have found a new hero!! Love you, Bassman, you rock!!!
