I was on the edge of my seat reading her accounts of front-line adventures in photojournalism from events all around the world (many such events I remember watching unfold in real time and it was amazing to read her insider perspective). I can't imagine being brave enough to pursue that particular line of photographic work (she has a line about the 'varieties of human animal' that made me laugh, myself being of the variety who'd rather have patience to sit for days waiting to photograph a passing lion). Despite being an entirely different variety of human/photographer, I found these stories intimately, infinitely relatable as a woman who has walked a not so "normal" life. And I loved how each story was framed within a chapter named for a man she related to in some way at that time. Such an interesting juxtaposition of independence and reliance on other humans.
Great writing, pacing, perspective and story-telling. Finished last night and went out today to pick up Ladyparts. Thank you, Deb, for sharing your stories!
