Photographer Sally Mann and Larry Mann, in her home gallery in Lexington, Va., have been married for 40 years.

“Deceptive,” he says.

“Oh, no, no, you were useful and strong,” she says. “You still are.”

About:

This tumblr is dedicated to the photographer Sally Mann. Time Magazine named her America's Best Photographer in 2001, writing:

"Mann recorded a combination of spontaneous and carefully arranged moments of childhood repose and revealingly—sometimes unnervingly—imaginative play. What the outraged critics of her child nudes failed to grant was the patent devotion involved throughout the project and the delighted complicity of her son and daughters in so many of the solemn or playful events. No other collection of family photographs is remotely like it, in both its naked candor and the fervor of its maternal curiosity and care."
