re: #99 Dark_Falcon

Sorry, downding for supporting that asshole Serrano. His work was intended to offend, and in my mind any technical merits of the photos are outweighed by the asshole factor of it.

While I am a technical photographer, the artwork itself is successful because it generated a strong reaction based on nothing but Andres’ word that the plastic crucifix in the photograph was suspended in his own urine. The shot itself is quite pleasing if you either don’t read or can move past the title. On the other hand Mandy’s avatar is a crude imitation of another crude imitation. Almost a non-thought. Sure, it gets a reaction, but it is neither clever nor original. Honestly it comes off as a cheap and poorly executed form of self-mockery, considering her own hypocritical rabid intolerance of perceived anti-christian slights. Cato thinks it brings the blog down, I disagree but still think it’s both lame and pretty hilarious coming from her.
