She has strange ideas about Alice in Wonderland and therefore she's not displaying reality and therefore, sucks. Sally Mann shoots subjects that make people feel uncomfortable. Therefore she sucks. Anything that is not direct or closely related to photojournalism is art photography and therefore must suck. The best photography is scientific photography. My person favourites are photographs of microscopic viruses. Those don't suck. Unless they are in black and white. Black and white isn't as close to reality and therefore sucks more than color.
