Good?

I am overly critical of pictures. Most don't convey, don't show, don't mean anything. Especially the new, 'fine art' crowd, skilled? certainly. Beautiful printing, tonality managed just so, edge burns Ansel Adams would covet, Lovely subjects, enchanting expressions... They seem to have it all.

And yet, they suck. Sure, they represent the moment; represent love, beauty, hate, sadness, all of it.

And yet, they suck. Motifs, style, emotion? They've got that down pat too.

And yet, they suck.

So many MFA portfolios look like ads for fucking Canson.




Maybe I'm Jealous.
