Susan Carr 1963–2012
For over twenty-five years, Susan Carr was my colleague and closest of friends. She was the most intuitive photographer I’ve known. Her images are true, and rich in the spirit of a life fully lived. Susan brought these strengths to everything she did, whether that be teaching, editing, writing, or her many enduring friendships.
