| Photo: Brenda Ann Kenneally |
Want to lose yourself for a few... hours in some of the best portrait and social documentary photography being done by anyone, anywhere for the last coupla decades?
Brenda Ann Kenneally is the name, one I'm surprised you don't hear more often, and mentioned with the very same reverence as other greats in the journalism/documentary field; perhaps because she's too busy churning out so much incredibly relevant work- portraiture, "street photography," reportage. Keneally does not blink at life's "uglier" side, as she unflinchingly observes and so beautifully documents the devastating reality of this turn of the century, a time not unlike the hundred years prior that also saw divergent populations of tumultuous economic and social disparity. And if you (like I) wondered how she has such a keen rapport with the subject matter she photographs- it is, at least in part, because she is no stranger to the "lifestyle" herself.
This is the kind of photographer that makes me shrivel in embarrassment to be caught anywhere near a camera-
No one should be this good!
