Only a Little While, 1980 Chromogenic print, from the portfolio "Vanitas" (1980) 25.7 x 33.1 cm (image); 27.8 x 35.6 cm (paper) Gretchen Garner was born in Minneapolis. 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. In the 1980s, Garner devoted herself strongly to outdoor photography.
