I was not going to read the profile of photographer Catherine Opie in the March 13 issue, because, I'll be perfectly honest about this, I was put off by the photo of the subject nursing her child. However, the article was written by Ariel Levy, and I always read her articles, so I read the Opie profile, and I'll admit that I'm glad I did because she seems like an interesting person with an interesting personal history. Also, the things Opie had to say about S/M resonated with my own personal history.
