I don't know what the hell art is. Whatever it is, this doesn't please me. And, as photographs, I find them to be entirely un-natural and over-processed looking. OTOH, she can do whatever the hell she wants, and I don't see it as child abuse to take photos of kids crying (assuming nothing horrible was done to these kids to elicite those reactions. But, an allegory for the Bush admin? I'm no admirer of his, but that's a stretch. Personally, I think this is shite. I haven't read any other replies yet, so this might be fun. cheers, frank, delurked for the moment -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
