 * Notes:
 * “Nancy Floyd presents several portraits of women and their firearms.” - (9, Jay Cox, At the Crossroads of Contemporary)
 * “I purchased my first gun in 1991, right after Desert Storm, largely as a way to connect with my brother who had wanted to be a gunsmith. He died in Vietnam when I was 12. Initially, I was afraid of the gun, but over time, I began attending Ladies Night at the local shooting range and befriending other women who shared my interest. The photographs, and the book under the same title (published by Temple University Press), explore fifteen years of my experience in the gun world.”

Focus and Intent


 * Notes:
 * Weathering Time is focused around the female body, the passage of time and the eventual loss of family
 * The images also reflect on the cultural and technological changes her generation has undergone
 * General, underlying theme of most work is “autobiographical in nature” and reflects Floyd’s own experiences, particularly about aging, mortality, loss and war (Atomic Photographers Guild)
