What is to understand about photography? Anyone has a 'trained' view, this way or another. Calling someone's work 'unaccessible' says more about the viewer than the work. Take it or leave it. What these guys are - at least - trying to do is to break new grouds, discover new sights, change the way we look at things. If you don't like to learn something new stick to what you like. BTW Picasso's work provoqued the very same responses first.... - -- Sent through Global Message Exchange - http://www.gmx.net
