Product Description
Expanded from an earlier catalogue of the same title, Still Time accompanied a traveling exhibition featuring more than twenty years of Sally Mann's photography.
Still Time celebrates an artist whose acute perceptions and imagination embrace not only the photographs of children for which she is renowned, but also earlier landscapes, and the unexpected, compelling forays into color and abstract photography.
The sixty images include abstract platinum prints, Cibachromes and Polaroids, landscapes, portraits of women and twelve-year-olds, and her celebrated family pictures.

 Sensitive, Remarkable Photographs July 24, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
In my view, three works by this gifted photographic artist should be treated as a triptych: this volume, At Twelve, and Immediate Family. Taken as an ensemble, they mutually inform each other both for the range of stylistic and technical mastery exhibited by Ms. Mann, as well as demonstrating the breadth of her photographic vision.
The most recently published of the three works, Still Time is also the only one that displays both black/white and color photos. The subject matter includes portrayals unique to this book and also a brief selection from the two volumes mentioned above. Her cibachrome and polaroid color pictures demonstrate her eye for pure design. Several platinum prints display her awareness of texture and contrast; one of them--a photograph of an arm draped in a flowing sleeve against a multiply flecked, aged wall--is exquisite.
As is all of her work, taken as a whole. Less appealing to me were the impressionistic black-and-white photos presented in a circle as if peering directly through the camera. However, this is part of her creative experiment and it is to be expected that not every subject or mode of presentation will appeal to all.
Were you to buy only one volume of Ms. Mann's work, or as an introduction to it, this book would be a good choice.

a rehash of photos from other sources. interesting, but the buyer should have been made aware so as not to duplicate previous orders.
THE MAGICAL TOUCH OF BEING GIFTED January 29, 2005

Sally Mann was so shockingly good in her book of photographys of her children called "Immediate Family" that I was sure none could be as good. And this book is not as good but it's still five stars.Just the cover of a night blooming cirus draped across her daughter is enough.........like the flower yet to be and the book is fully of much more. In her first books prologue there is the story of the very unconventional growing up that Sally Mann had......her father was a wildly creative man who had his children experience the unusal to say the least........but the most unusal is they apparently experienced the beauty of youth and family and life. Today some would stone her.....we know who they are ......so sad for them.
 Not nearly as good as Immediate Family November 17, 2003

I bought both "Still Time" and "Immediate Family" sight unseen after seeing her new book "What Remains". "Still Time" is a compilation of works from various periods. It is easy to see her promise, and there are some nice photographs. Her progress is interesting. But she really hits her stride when she photographs her children in "Immediate Family". Some of the early shots in "Still Time" seem sort of concocted and overdone-until the photos from "Immediate Family" which are breathtaking. Save your money and buy "Immediate Family".
After meeting Mann, the book was made more magical. May 6, 1999

I am an English/photography teacher at a high school in southside Virginia. I had always been a fan of Sally's work and used this book as a teaching tool in my classroom. The way Mann has captured the human form and the "inner workings" of something as private as her family is breath taking in the flawless medium of black and white photography. I had an opportunity to meet her and after explaining to her how her book was used to inspire my students, she happily signed my copy of the book (my students went wild when when they saw her signature)!
