Took this one as part of a series based on a play called "How I learned to Drive" by Paula Vogel. The shot is part of a body of work i have done that is based on psychoanalytical 'gaze' theory of visual culture.

I based the image on a quote from the play:

"Going on Eighteen. Kittens will grow to be cats."

Brilliant photograph and should have done better. It seems to me that there are a lot of voters here witout vision, which is a bit of a shocker!

Very cool. Love the hand on the leg. Normally I'm not a fan of long titles, but this one enhances the photo. Would like to see just a little more negative space (everything feels cramped into the frame), but I can also appreciate that it may be deliberate. 8.

This is expert storytelling from another era, an American era somewhere around the 50s and 60s that never actually existed. 10

This is eerily distrubing, and made so by the grin if the male in the shot. Extremely well done.

So, why is he grabbing her leg?
04/05/2007 10:08:02 PM
Maybe go with one title, not three. Nice shot, though.

The pic tells the story, good job.

Is this a reference to the play? Hmm... I never actually saw it so I wouldn't recognize the line.

This makes me pretty uncomforable which may have been the intention, or I am misreading her facial expression.

The editing is good as well as the contrast. The crop helps with the discomfort as it is unusual.

This is sexual harrassment, you should sue your driver-ed instructor hehehe j/k cool idea.

I really like the shot but the title is really too cumbersome.

Not getting this one at all. Not sure why you cropped the heads, it doesn't do anything for me.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two now and I'm running late, sorry.
