Response to Images of Women Here

from tom meyer (twm@mindspring.com)
Somehow I don't think Jeff's motivation for making this (and most of his images) is how much money someone might pay as a result.

There is one flaw in the critique he offers, that 50's/70/s is dated... "retro" styling seems pretty close to the top of the styles in demand these days, but not the type of vacuous Pop Photography cheesecake stuff that Jeff refers to. I've got no problem with that stuff going on here, I'll tolerate it but c'mon, can we show something beyond baby pictures and models' head shots? Some Bunny Yeager style stuff with a millenium twist would be more interesting. (Oxygen Channel anyone?)

I just downloaded a new driver for my antique scanner so I'll bring something to the table (as a "put up or shut up" neutralizer) as soon as I can figure it out... t

p.s. Jeff, these days fashion sells the sizzle not the steak (retro is as retro does) so don't expect clothes to be prominant. What is being offered as fashion photography here is headshots and models porfolio (product of a "testing" collaboration between photog and model). Edward Kang's recommended site was all runway stuff, the documentary side of the fashion industry's image production. I don't work in fashion, so I've got nothing to offer (image wise) but an opinion, and there's plenty of room for criticism of me because of that. That's what makes a discussion fun... t
