she is such a huge inspiration.
i'm doing a project on uta barth for art, and i just love her style. i'm not really familiar with her works though, so it's kind of hard to determine which photos on the net are actually her bona fide ones. thanks for uploading her pictures. it's a big help. she's such a wonderful photographer. :)
I would like to be a photographer when I will finish my University!
