In 1973–75, she studied photography at the School of the Art Institute, Chicago. After graduating, she worked for some time as a press photographer at the Chicago Daily News. Apart from photography, Garner has also been a curator, writer and teacher – teaching photography and photo history at the Michigan Grand Valley State University and the University of Connecticut.

  • Large Vintage Photograph Polaroid Transfer Photo Print Gardens Versailles Paris
    By David Aschkenas
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Large scale print, 24 X 36 inches. Framed to 29.5 X 41.5. This was described as Polaroid transfer print. It has the feel of a Frisson print. It is hand signed in pencil and dated. It is done in a sepia color tone. The color might have possibly shifted a bit. They are moody atmospheric pieces. These are outside Paris, I believe at Versailles. David Aschkenas is a self-taught photographer making fine art and freelance photography for the past 25 years. He has been the recipient of grants from the NEA and the Polaroid Corporation. He makes photographs for corporations and editorial clients around the world. Aschkenas has been a photographer in Pittsburgh for 30 years, specializing in editorial and fine art photography (he shot Richard Serra's Tilted Arc in the early 1980's) Inspired by Weegee, James Van Der Zee...

  • Tuscany, Sleeping Woman, 1996 Large Vintage Color Photograph C-Print Signed
    By Joel Meyerowitz
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Meyerowitz first drew acclaim for his remarkable ability to capture subtlequalities of light with the 1978 publication of Cape Light, which went on to become a color photography classic, selling more than 130,000 copies. This evocative new collection of images and commentary invites readers to experience the essence of Tuscany; sunlight gilding fields of ripe wheat, darkness lowering under threatening summer skies, and townspeople riding their bicycles through the dappled streets. For those who appreciate the beauty of the Italian landscape and for lovers of photography everywhere,Tuscany is a personal and loving portrait of a truly unforgettable place.Joel Meyerowitz (born March 6, 1938) is a street photographer, and portrait and landscape photographer. He began photographing in color in 1962 and was an early advocate of the use of color during a time when there was significant resistance to the idea of color photography as serious art. In the early 1970s he taught the first color course at the Cooper Union in New York City where many of today's renowned color photographers studied with him. Inspired by seeing Robert Frank at work, Meyerowitz quit his job as an art director at an advertising agency and took to the streets of New York City with a 35mm camera and black-and-white film, alongside Garry Winogrand, Tony Ray...
