She has a fascinating history and engagement with photography, writing on photography, and collecting. She has turned some of her collections into books and tells us about how she retrieved the photographs that went into titles such as 'Evidence.'

She also touches upon subjects such as being a bilingual writer, which made her a better writer, and how vernacular photography changed her life.
