Author Description

"Only Human is a taut and poetic compilation of images that emphatically reveals the breadth of Judy Dater's achievement as a photographer over five decades. We see that her photographs are concerned with acknowledgment, with personal identity and belonging, with loneliness and solidarity. The best of them possess a beauty, intelligence and complexity that elevates them above the merely interesting to the often profound." Julian Cox, Chief Curator and Founding Curator of Photography, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco
