thanks for the link! sucks that she made up the story, but i agree with the guy who posted:

The pictures of Chernobyl, and what it's become, were real. How much does it really matter that she made them more interesting by wrapping them in a tale about a solitary motorcycle ride?

huh. i was wondering how she took such good shots of her back. it's disappointing to find out her story's not 100% true but, for me, it doesn't detract from the poignancy of the pictures or her commentary.
