ok Spiral

a couple of issues occur to me;

why post 'very poor quality' work/scans whatever?

why post work that may not be suitable?

why not explain why you felt compelled to post this work?

i checked out this guys website, sleazey comes to mind, why does a middle aged man need to photograph quite young women in such a slip shod and perverse manner with little artistic intent?

please explain yourself
1. I posted what I had.
2. It dosent matter the quality of the scans. The photos are intended to get people talking.
3.No work was posted that wasnt suitable.
4. Why do I need to explain? This is the thread to discuss photographers?

I like what Richard Kern did. His work may not be suited for all. He never used professional models, and yes his images where shot on a shoestring budget.

We all see art differently.When I look at Kerns images I see the sleazy, gritty side of N.Y and YES in my eyes he does capture the PUNK feel of the late 70's and mid 80's.

Kern also produced some videos for MTV back in their early days.

I truly dont understand the statement below.

We could have a long discussion about art if you like.
