Nan's life itself can be described as colourful

and her obsession to have her camera with her

at all times allow Goldin to document the life

lifestyle that she was a part of .

Nan is quoted as saying in a interview that

the camera functioned as her memory which

would of been very useful considering the

narcotic additions she had.

the lifestyle that Nan Goldin choose to live

put her in a prime position to capture the images

she did. And I force to question if most of her

friend did not die of HIV would she be so critically

acclaimed
