Imho:
- those pictures are just gratuite snapshots with no point, no  
message, and nothing more to tell that the photographer's idea. On  
*the same hand*, they don't communicate any emotion, just artificial  
child moaning for who-knows-what.
- the aesthetics aren't my cup of tea
- she was looking to provoke, and she's hitting his target
- just boring stuff and a artificious polemic
- making profit of bad taste is becoming a common practice
