I bet some not all agencies have a Grunge division.
When you  shoot Grunge you are listening to Nirvana and Pearl Jam?
And wear a lumberjack shirt as a jacket?
How about photograms? Camereless photography?
Me personally I'm less fond of what seems to me treadely dumbed down
Dianna's but Love Brownies. They are trying to be good. But trying to be
cheap even more. I like that.
And the Quarter Oats pinhole division. Every agency needs that one. Round
pictures. Like the first Kodak. You take the pix we do the rest. You sell
them for a dollar each on a cut rate stock agency website.
