name-dropped in threads of this ilk. Him hanging around here in this board, and wanting to obtain our sympathy, Keeping It Simple, seems to be very far out of the realm of possibilities. He only pays attention to twitter these days, apparently.
Another photographer whose work i really like is Lindsay Brice. Her book, "Supernatural", is a tiny little jewel. It's a book of pictures of dolls, whose surroundings provide them with the context of childhood mainly but also other stages of life, glimpses of humanity, if that makes sense. Kim Gordon wrote the foreword to the book, an essay about the emotions expressed by Lindsay Brice on her photos, as well as her own appreciation of Karen Carpenter. For
someone who's not yet familiar with this book (and i don't mean that in a general sense), i guess Kim's involvement can give him a reason to troll, based on silly notions rather than on the actual images. I'm not posting any pictures other than the cover, as i'm lazy to find some (they don't come easily in a google search). The book is pretty cheap these days, but worthy of attention and very enjoyable (that is, if my words mean something less than shit).
