also, an aside:
why is so much contemporary photography so stagnant, vapid, and shallow? it's easy to take interesting photographs of beautiful girls. it's the easiest thing in the world. ryan mcginley and the mid/late 1990s vice real-world style has just ruined a whole generation of photographers. take your camera everywhere, but taking photographs of the parties you go to does not equal art. there is already a cobra-snake; you're ten years late. having a hand-held flash and a two thousand dollar camera will make all of your photographs aesthetically pleasing, but really, they're not saying anything to anyone but yourself. build a style, tell a story, shoot on film again; struggle to reveal something hidden: figure it out as you go. having a dozen topless photographs is not a portfolio.
tirade over.
