Sit down, relax and take a stress pill. There is a certain intensity with 
Friedlander's image of Madona which rings true. (to me at least)

Granted, she's a bit fuzzy for puppy love but reality images as opposed to 
set-ups always have appeal. 

BTW, I was living in Memphis circa 1971. A show at the local art school  by 
Friedlander, Les Krims, Ralph Gibson and others caused such a stir the 
dean's daughter was kidnapped. She wasn't released  until the images were 
removed. I'm sure the felons involved had Jesus on their side. :)
