Digital BW, The Print

Well, from what I understood by reading the introduction on the website, these are self portraits that were made with the assistance of one of her friends.  As far as the image being mediocre; you're entitled to your own opinion, I happen to disagree.

  I believe those photos of Annie were taken by other photographers. 
  Not taken of her by herself.

  At least that's the impression I got from reading the introduction .

  And, I think that B&W image of her is mediocore, at best.
