The Mexican photographer, Graciela Iturbide, is a long-time favorite of mine. She is just two years younger than me and is still out there making pictures on film, mostly in black and white. The International Center of Photography in New York is currently showing a big retrospective of her work. She has traveled all over the world making her images, but is best known for her depictions of Mexico's indigenous women.
Iturbide has a rare talent for explaining her own work as is evident in the The Guardian review of the current ICP exhibit.
