anna, gaskill tilts her camera and shoots from below.  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.
