"I was trying to make images that made you feel something, because we are so inundated with images in our culture that oftentimes people dont feel anything.
It seems to me that she is another of these people who think they are the only ones who feel things, rather like that stupid woman who promoted 'No Photography Day' because she claimed people weren't 'in the moment'. We are indeed inundated with images in our culture. Every day I can look at pictures of real children starving to death, being blown up by car bombs in Iraq, having their hands cut off by the Lord's Resistance Army, being worked to death making bricks or trainers, or being kept in a car inspection pit for 8 years. If this kind of thing doesn't make people feel, then I don't think a picture of some kid crying for candy will do it. -- Cheers, Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Jostein Øksne > Sent: 07 September 2006 12:46 > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List > Subject: Re: OT: Taking Candy from a baby. > > Of course it is art. > > If the Times is right about how she obtained the photographs, it puts > the blogger's reaction in a very tragic perspective.
