Joel Peter Witkin on the Raft of George Bush

[ponchocosmico]

Witkin speaks and shows the truth, some little Bush fans commenting here are offended. .. truth hurts I guess.

They rather ignore ...

( well isn't that what ignorants do? )

Mr. Witkin,

Explaining your work is death. You just explained that you failed. I love your work overall, but explaining it robs others of their right to interpret it.

Better to say nothing.

[mahavishnu009]

Witkin is one of the greatest photographers of all time...but god he should stay away from the political bullshit...

[bolderiks]

Politics is an escential part of life. Whether you like it or not. The world as it is now is (sometimes shamefully) the product of political choices. As a social driven photographer it is inevitable to take part in it.

Go for it Witkin !

[kimsycam]

assholes! the guy just talked sence!

[Tlk2435asdko43]

nope we're fucked

[spamsponge]

I liked him better when I just looked at his photographs.

[wywy124]

Yeah same here...I didn't realize he was so arrogant and self-righteous. I think he should just stick with his photos of carnival freaks and stay out of politics. I really do enjoy his work though.

[devinkees]

Think about science and space and human race survival in the future, u know, real factors of life and life to come. then think of his art. fuck him. waste of life.

[zoobiewa]

Witkin has a very curious mind and has created things that defy, go beyond, and represent a much more nuanced world than his words and politics lead you to believe.

[facelessfiend6]

SELL OUT!

[facelessfiend6]

Your a sad individual Witkin, you probably voted for Bush you disgrace...

[avargas10785]
