The music really helps make the first section.

At the top of one of my favorite photographers that I am inspired by her amazing mind,vision,and art.

You have no idea what you are talking about. This body of work was about placing herself into the generic scenarios of Hollywood movies and commercial photography. You seem to think that she's trying to place her self into the linear history of modernist photography, and that she isn't as good as the great masters.

I don't really see that much talent in the photos themselves. If she were an artist her only contribution to art would be tracing the work of others. There is no mastery of the medium demonstrated here. It is interesting that she kept up with it as long as she did. But she just as easily could have taken pictures of a toy for years, placing it in different settings, dressing it up...the kind of shit the the fine art world calls art today because everyone thinks the idea of something is enough.

She's on "my" side, not "your" side, coorect? I don't think identity issues should interfere with processing thought, besides interpreting a lack of self or need for affection doesn't make me horny, or create emotions.
