Francesca Woodman's first camera

In 1972, Francesca Woodman received her first camera, a 6x6 twin-lens reflex Yashica Mat-124G, from her father, George Woodman. In the fall of the same year, Woodman would go on to attend Abbot Academy and study photography with Wendy Snyder MacNeil, developing her commanding artistic vision and ultimately setting the stage for her remarkable career. As George recalled, “When [Francesca] went off to boarding school, I had a little Japanese imitation of a Rollei camera, and I gave it to her, you know, showed her how to trip the shutter, a few easy demonstrations of how you make prints. She went off to school. And she had a teacher who stimulated her enormously. By the end of that year, she was just on fire to do photography. It was just amazing."
