In fact for as infrequently as I offer up any opinion, I think I deserve to be able to do this now and then. I just believe good or bad, photography has its place. And if i say so, then the different genres have their place..so on this road, Anne has a place. I do not even own her book. I do not like it enough to invest in it... however I do believe that her work is still good enough to be noted as such instead of being dragged around as if she does not have the marbles to join the BIG MAN's GAME. Irrespective of how we feel about her work..I think she still adds something to photography, her work can stand up on their own..it is not shitty, although half of us would be caught dead doing it....I still think on its own it deserve3s its due. And as for being a shit disturber hey, one day you find yourself with a stick, your walking leisurely through the park and you bump into some shit...what are you going to do...today is my day to "disturb the shit..."so I have been poking. Sorry mate..it is really not personal. I am sure you have seen and read that I was not attacking your skill or your legacy asa photog. Peace Ruddy Roye P.S. The Meds I take: I like wine Pastelles...they are made in London, if you see any..send it to Tamarkin.
