Who is she? And what is a 10 year old doing puffing away? These questions have plagued the everyday people that have accidentally discovered Mann's work. In a documentary called "What Remains: The Life and Work of Sally Mann"we learn that the mysterious child rebel is actually her own daughter who isn't a chain smoker but a transmitter for a powerful message. For me, the defiant girl with the candy cigarette burns a hole in my retina--no matter how many times I look I always want to look away. It tells a story--perhaps of those blind footsteps from childhood to adulthood. This is impact. This is honesty.
