Crap photobook of the week
Written by duckrabbitHuffington Post Says

My review is here.

Yeah, plenty of crap in there John.
Yipes! I rather read Artist Statements, or look at Cindy Sherman photos… OK, I rather read Artist Statements.
A bit boring, but not as boring as artist statements, or photos by Sherman or Mapplethorpe or Weber or Tillmans or any of various other people whose names I can’t remember.
Hey! Don’t knock the Tillmans!!
Boring- a thousand times yes… But even worse so, they are conceptually, creatively and aesthetically lazy beyond belief! A studio photographer capitalizing on other people’s work and fame with the relative ease of a couch potato with his remote.
