Sally Mann, Untitled (Self-Portrait), 2006-12.

As Sally Mann recovered from an accident in which she was thrown from and pummeled by her dying horse in ’06, she turned to self-portraiture to create haunting ambrotypes like this one.  Streaking, blurring, over and underexposures mar the images, speaking movingly to the damage inflicted on their subject.
