Eudora Welty - Portraits Taken by the Writer as a Young Woman (in Hard Times)
In 1936 Welty got her chance: her short story "Death of a Traveling Salesman" was published in Manuscript magazine, and a solo exhibition of her Mississippi photographs was presented at the photographic galleries of Lugene Opticians on Madison Avenue.
But eventually she gave up photography to focus on her writing.
(Sometime in the 1950s she left her camera on a bench in the Paris Métro and never allowed herself to replace it.)
