Elinor Carucci by Stephanie

In all honesty I've had difficulty finding artists that I've personally found inspiring, until today. Yesterday I looked but to no avail - today I look and there it is. Elinor Carucci is a photographer who does like me and photographs the closest things to her. She has created bodies of work that have included herself, her husband, her parents (prior to their divorce) and the latest her children. Her photographs are gentle, sincere and honest. I've found her work to be inspiring because I hope to someday be as honest as she is and still manage to stay "clean" with it all. I don't know exactly what that means, but it is an aspiration.
