Some of the photos (eg Orkney Standing Stones work just cos their bloody big.
The car photos are fantastic - big 50s American cars in peopleless settings. One in a car park is more the film 'crash' than 'crash'. Another has raindrops on the glass. Outside a Motel. You know it dominates some human story. There is a photo of a dashboard that tells you more about humans & the smell of the world than all the fashion plates opposite.
Celebs: Dull. Except for the cut ups of Jack Nicholson & Michael Jackson. Jack N always seems to get photographers rapping. The Michael Jackson is brilliant at giving a sense of his movement. Of course the photo is better than anything I've seen Michael Jackson produce himself. Fearsome back view of Mike Tyson.
Breaunna in the LA Hilton. The Catwoman is fantastic - comics for boys. The superhero vs her scared vulnerable expression.
A mock Christ Trilogy thing I though lazy & confused.
The showstoppers were the American landscapes. Great Motels. Pathetic/ phallic like sex sometimes. But the missing people hint at all sorts of lives.
I loved the roadsign for God. And the stunning sunset, improved by the Resort road adverts stretching into the distance.
And electric pylons like ship masts. Just for a second - at the top of the picture - the desert is like a ship.
A lot of the fashion ones are just sub-surreal cheap contrasts.
Monkeys with Mask is just a joy.
As is Dirt Road. Brings you back to the world with your eyes open.
Fashion: There's a boot on a cooker & its supposed to be surreal (?)
Also upstairs. The Ichthys font by Colin Reid. Unlike all the other media, Glass must have reached it's peak in history in the modern age.
