I Hate It… I Love It… It’s Episode 61




Polarizing Images show

Summary: Finally, Tony reveals the answer to the great question, what did he mean when he said Grammar Nazi knows a think or two about self-abuse? And Rob compliments the contrast. It's something we love... But, tonight, Rick asks us two questions: what do we love about the photography industry today and what do we hate about it? We pretty much agree on each other's answers but that doesn't mean it's a boring show. Today's Artists Tony, who can never seem to select a normal artist, instead wants to talk about a British documentary series that follows a bunch of kids over many years called the "Up Series". Doing one episode every seven years, the filmmakers started in 1969  and have followed the "kids" for over 40 years now. Rob chose a female fine art photographer, Lauren Bentley. Some absolutely beautiful work from a photographer who understands form and beauty. However, we do have a slight disagreement about the historical accuracy of the photographs. They're fantastic images (and there is some artistic nudity so, you know, be careful opening up her site at work or around tight asses). As we always say, let us know in the show notes what you think and whether you agree with us or not.
