Jo Anne Yada

Jo Anne Yada learned the rules of photography at San Jose State University, California, and continues to break them. She is an alterna-crafter who hoards things for years, knowing she will use them sometime. And she does. She does everything from altering dolls, to printing magazine pages in the darkroom, to making sunprints from old negatives, and re-sewing clothes from thrift stores. She would rather recycle than spend too much on new stuff. Besides, junk is already there! Let's use it!
