(i think that nicely sums up what i feel your opinion)

Germaine Greer did what? Brought up lots of relevant points about society and genderisation? And that’s something you can bring out like a party piece and put away again? I think not!

wah…. can’t be bothered talking sense to a nonsensical twat.

Oh God. This is some of the most trite, over intellectualised attempts at justifying crap photography and soft core porn i’ve ever seen. If you’re going to do this sort of stuff at least commit to getting your baps out and do a suicidegirls shoot.
There’s absolutely nowt radical about taking your clothes off and waffling on feminism. Germaine Greer did it all in the 60s love.
Why not just film yourself getting jiggy with it and charge visitors to your site for the privilege?

It’s a bit more honest than all this faux intellectual, chin stroking erotica. Of course, they lap this sort of gash up in Brighton don’t they?

Saw your tribute briefly before you changed the privacy level on it and thought it was great. Had to imagine how many ten second dashes it must have taken to get it right given how difficult it is to know exactly how it looks camera-side.

Well said, Miss Aniela. And take a moment to check out Steve Hiett. Photography in Paris was really buzzing in the seventies!

Next week I’ll be catching up with three-and-a-half months of Anielas, during my trip to France for the MipTV television program market. (Yes, here in the UAE Flickr is still blocked!)

All the best,

Malcolm in Abu Dhabi

This is a great site here http://guybourdin.org/gallery/ and if you check out his bio you will see his extensive fashion photography experience - including a lot of work for vogue…

The Polaroids pictured here aren’t the ones I was referring to in my comments above.

I think that you’ll find that a lot of Bourdin’s stuff is fashion photography for a shoe company?? I’ll check it out, but his images have always struck me as being a perfect expression of art and the commercial fashion industry coming together and delivering something truly special… a great source of inspirational material also.

Did your book include a collection of his almost abstract polaroids?
