Receiving her first camera when she was 12, Laura photographed the Southwest for more than 60 years. Working alone, Laura's works are unique because she pursued landscape photography, a field pioneered and traditionally practiced by men. Compelled not by scientific curiosity but by humane concerns, her interest in the land was as an environment that shaped human activity. Her four books and thousands of photographs documented the relationships between people and the land.
