I've been really fascinated with Francesca Woodman recently. The photograph with bark around her arms that are swaying at the same angle as the trees was one of the very first I saw when beginning my photography education at university, and I've never forgotten it, though I couldn't remember her name until I came across her book in the art library.
She was born into a family of artists, spent all of her childhood summers in a farmhouse in Italy, and killed herself by jumping out of the window of her New York apartment when she was only 22, shortly after her book came out.
I wish I could see what beautiful art she would surely have created throughout her life.
