Jill Greenberg End Times

[Annie James]

This was taken a couple of weeks ago in our run down holiday cottage in Nantes, my son was not happy about not being in his own environment.

... I find them offensive, and question why anyone knowing the background and the intent, would take any pleasure at all at seeing them.

Good point! I always see the pictures first and then find out the context. And, yes, in a political context they are hollow. However, when I first see them, my reaction is "wow! powerful."

I have a feeling I will feel differently about them because of this thread when if I encounter them again...

... what did she do? sit down one evening and think , hmm I will bring some kids to my studio and make them cry? Show me some talent and I will credit the Photographer, she has technical skills, but no soul, her Photographs are dead.

This Video interview of her shows a little bit of her personality. Personally, I have a hard time indentifying with what I see and "detached" is the nicest word that comes to mind.

I am not fond of her crying children pictures but my daughter loves her monkey portraits - we just picked up her book so she could look at them whenever she wants.

Annie, your picture of your frustrated son is part of a life story that you will look back on with joy and understanding as you see his deep character linked tosome of these images.

Doing this is directed by love and fascination.

Just like a caress, you have inherent permission to make such a record. Someone else to doing that invades your family privacy and the trust you have earned.

This is not a simple matter. After all, we" sort of" do this to adults in street photography, but hopefully in honesty and without making them react in fear!

Oh lala!

I didn't realize that the same person can do that kind of work with children (beyond the discussion on the How, the artistic realization is "poor", looks like bad chromos for me)

I saw some of the Monkeys protrait last year at the clampart gallery in N.Y., both my wife and I did love this impressive work!

How can it be the same person?
