想像入ってないパーティーフォトグラファーの写真集を掲載する雑誌にもううんざいだ。デジタルやフィルム、結婚式やイメージ乱交パーティー(例:ミッドタウンのどこでも)、キャノン5Dマーク2やホルガや使い捨てやつを使っても。「良い写真」及び「芸術」はこんなことと関係ねぇだろう。おい、そこ「写真家」。しっかりしろ!その時間を止める一眼空気取り込み物を握るまえにちゃんと作戦しろ。
しないなら、相手に永遠になれず。
この下記の61枚の証拠で十分にわかるはず。

I’m growing tired of seeing magazines feature “party photographers” whose shots, the ones that aren’t completely out of focus, are simply a endless parade of the rehashed and recycled. “Yeah baby, lick your lips like that. That’s *sooo* sexy”, or “Hey, you’ll look soooo much cooler if I shoot you with this polaroid! It won’t matter if it looks like shit…. in fact, the worse it looks, the more *vintage* it is, yeah?”. And my all time favorite, the half-baked partygoer throwing up the peace sign while sticking out their tongue or flashing a bit of tit. Ooooh, that’s *so* rave/mod/punk/whocares.
Kill me now.
People, it doesn’t matter if you shoot film or digital, if you’re covering a Bar Mitzvah or an underground s&m tranny party, if you’re packing a holga, plastic throw-away, or 5D Mk.II. There’s no excuse for your shots to be just as blasé and vapid as, let’s be honest here, some of the subjects you’re pointing that lens at.
Here are 61 reminders why, as long as you keep putting your mind in neutral while you hold that time-freezing image capture device, you will never be able to touch us.
Now wake up and get to fucking work.
