Sylvia Plachy was born in Budapest in 1943. She was 13 when she fled Hungary for America, sneaking across the border, hidden in a cart. In Hungary Plachy's family had been in hiding because of their Jewish origins. Plachy is now a photographer well-known for her wit and her observation of the dramatic in the everyday.
The absurd picture below is called Attack.
Lulu below is from her Self-portrait with Cows Going Home series when she returned to Hungary for a project.
A picture of the woman herself at the Berlin Wall. Plachy once collaborated with Tom Waits. Oh and Adrian Brody is her son and frequently her subject.
