So slow that I had to wait a minute or so for each photo to load and so grew bored and gave up looking after about half-a-dozen images. I just couldn’t take it anymore, after that. I am certain, though, that if I had a fast connection, had not been jet-lagged and sleep deprived, I would have spotted the parody that David wrote of immediately.

i understand (your thinking of course) but anyway, just as CP wrote, what i tried to write in a short note….your intent maybe was different from Gabrielle’s intent, or well, who knows…not that important, really (our reactions)….

anyway, to laugh at ourselves is most important thing anyway, as dima reminded: ‘yo, dad, what’s more important that Burn thing or making sure tim hudak isn’t elected’ (he said last night)….

word….

and in way of parody/absurdity…one of my favorite films o f last year (Yo Panos/Civi, it is fucking Greek film and amazing):

funny, sad, mad, bloody, sexy, fucked up….

laughter to tears, tears from laughter…

enjoy, hope u see it

Well, I think the problem is that parody, when done well, informs the viewer of something new about the subject, a way of viewing it from inside out, upside down, backwards, what have you. And I (and thankfully not alone on this) didn’t really see that at all. Maybe the fact that it is so subtle a parody is a good thing…. just didn’t work for me is all. I prefer my parodies big and messy…. parody also implies being funny. I wish there was at least one image that was, like “okay…yeah!”, say of her putting make up on the family dog, shot of course in high fashion/LIFE style. Just something that takes one outside…

I know what you mean about the old “new” look… I did a benefit calendar last year for a local all ages club where we got some people together in a bar and tried to do an homage to the old Max’s Kansas City days. Very difficult to do, or at least do right, esp in one evening (fortunately I did right enough for their needs). From a technical (digital vs film) to an acting (nobody truly fucked up) to values (nobody smoking as not only illegal but calendar targeted at minors) it’s all relative…. how does one reconcile look, subject, and intent? Is new/old really new?

And who can keep up with the machinations of David Alan Harvey’s mind! Anyway, win some lose some. Name of the game and you or Gabrielle shouldn’t take it personally (I know you don’t). It’s always good to try, and I wish I was photographing Karlie Kloss! As you say, laugh and smile – you’re on camera!

Best,

Charles

and the Nirvana book is all addressed and ready to send and I will make it to the post office tomorrow!

Perhaps it would have been better to kept it going saying something like “you just don’t get it”
As you said…it’s a parody….and I don’t have an answer to your question…I don’t find it stimulating to give it much thought…with all due respect of course.

it is a bit disappointing to me after two years of publishing Burn that nobody here would think that maybe i was not doing a parody…or at least some sense of “smell” that i was trying to say something other than “look at this as a Burn essay”..how could anybody think i was actually endorsing those pictures as actual essay photographs???…yes, my tastes vary , but surely would never move to THAT level at least not straight up……hmmmmm…genuinely surprised…..the question for me here, and where i wanted to take this , was how much did Life and photographer THINK they were doing at least a copy of the “good old days”? is this the ultimate pop art? an old “new” look? what exactly IS this? this was my question to all of you , and to Life…

cheers, david

Well I would of never got it either, not because I’ve never read life – my mother used to have a load of Life mags strewn all over the house.

Yes Kate Moss always…

I love fashion photography, I’m absolutely certain growing up surrounded every month with Vogue and Harpers Bazaar at my Grandmother’s made me fall in love with photography and women…
