Uncovered: Celebrating Women in New York City
by Gérard Delisle & 1 other (via)
A woman's right to appear topless in public was legalized in New York in 1992. Since New York is the only state with such a law, forty-nine out of fifty states deem it illegal for a woman to remove her shirt in public. However, men are free to take off their shirts with impunity. Challenging this inequity between the sexes is the purpose of the work of jordan matter.

Deux « beaux livres », NATURA et FLORA sont parus au Canada et en France en 2003 et 2004. Elle a signé les photographies de six guides de jardins. Originaire de Hearst, dans le nord de l’Ontario, elle exerce son métier dans l’Outaouais.

Photographer Louise Tanguay uses the camera like a painter whose brushes convey a personal vision of the surrounding world. She plays with colour and light, combining reflections, shapes and shadows to throw lifelines from image to feeling. She seizes the passing moment; she arrests fleeting moods to make us partners in her view of planet earth.
Louise Tanguay’s photographs have been published in many magazines and newspapers in Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia. She also published two books, NATURA and FLORA. Originally from Hearst, in northern Ontario, she now resides and works in the Gatineau, Québec.
