:-) I like Cindy Sherman myself. Maybe it helps that I discovered her work
apart from the insufferable post-Modern trendoisie crowd who've elevated her
to near sainthood. I'm pretty sure she doesn't even think of herself as a
photographer much less take active interest in the nuts & bolts of
photography beyond whatever she requires to do her thing. I'm also pretty
sure she finds all the fuss made over her work highly amusing.
