The interesting thing about criticism, is that you can learn more about the critic than you can about the... ah.. victim?... er... perpetrator?... eh... artist?

Hi John, I'm gonna fall somewhere between these two guys. I've also seen too much sabattier to be distracted from the other aspects of an image by it's employment. I haven't identified any sabattier images that I think are well put together.

But that brings up the point Mr. Kantor raises. You need to organize the site better. I haven't looked at every image because you're all over the place and I don't remember which I've seen and which are kinda the same as that other one maybe, but hey... it's the same picture!... but solarized and what's this astrophotography doing here oh it's an oil slick now where was I oh yeh what's this smeary red thing but wait is that girl naked and crawling around in a bathroom?

I get worn out just trying to figure out what I've seen and so I'll come back in a month and try again.

But the elbow/breast picture isn't organzed (composed) well enough, that band picture is too blocked up and (Alan's right) they look unsure. And why even include the shot of the guy in the doorway... totally uninteresting. (Edit!)

The green girls smokin' in the parkin' lot is definately my favorite, very edgy. But lots of the pictures of girls seem kind of trite (the projected pattern should just be on the wall, not the girl. It looks like she's got a rash and who thought of that pose? What is she doing?...speaking of which the crawlin' girl just doesn't work (in an old bathroom?). The light on her face looks accidental, and the dress is blocked up so I can't tell if her breasts are bare or it's a lowcut blouse. John K., would you speak to that issue please: How to make people look like they have a mind of their own (or the photographer/A.D. does) and aren't just doing something weird/aimless for the camera... I'll whine more later, if you want... t
