Noggle
often photographed herself while driving between Albuquerue and Santa Fe. In
this self-portrait in her Volkswagen Beetle, she tries to capture her feelings
as a recent recipient of a prestigious John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship.
Noggle came to photography late in life, after a career as a pilot, and the
validation of the award, as well as the funding, was a significant achievement.
The artist was awarded a John
Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship in 1982.
