Last week, I wrote here<\/a><\/strong> about two wonderful new books for budding, young photographers, Susan Goldman Rubin’s<\/a><\/strong> Stand There! She Shouted: The Invincible Photographer Julia Margaret Cameron<\/em>, illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline<\/a><\/strong>, and Ruth Thomson’s Photos Framed: A Fresh Look at the World’s Most Memorable Photographs<\/em>. I’ve got a bit of art from Ibatoulline today. <\/p>\n

“…Rather than showing Annie’s whole figure, Julia Margaret had taken a close-up<\/a><\/strong> of her face and shoulders. Annie is lit by daylight shining through the
glass roof of the chicken coop.”<\/em>
