Sally Mann approached this book very differently from all the others. She openly noted that she wasn’t going to be blind sighted to these death photos as was previously with the children’s photos. “It’s ok if people are mad”, she says. She was going to raise it intellectually, as a reflection. To her death is less scary or something to be feared with others, partly because of her husband’s disease and partly because of her dad as she watched him die and he approached it fearlessly.
The show was to end on a positive note, by ending it with pictures of her grown children. To embrace the living, love life an uplift.
