    Typed document. Article written by Craeybeckx about Of Night and Day which also mentions some of her other works. Says Nell Dorr is one of the best known American women photographers. Refences Carl Sandburg’s quotation about Mother and Child: “It is more than a book, it is a sacred book.” Tells that Dorr’s work requires contemplation to learn “the power of the emotion that they exhale.” Dorr herself says, “It is not what one photographs that counts, but how one photographs.”
