Face the facts folks, Terry has left a godzilla-sized stomprint on the world of photography, he spent plenty of years "paying his dues," and he did and still does take excellent photos. Y’alls just be jealous.

Jesus, people are still griping about Terry Richardson? "Oh he’s just some hack who took a bunch of pictures and made himself popular by promoting himself" "Oh, guns and girls, real original, I could have done this I just didn’t want to and now I’m angry that someone did."

These are all so dark. I miss the old Terry Richardson sense of humor. Good pics all the same though.
Kern did do a girl with her head in the oven, but it was as a reference to Sylvia Plath’s death. It’s not like he came up with the idea.

terry must be uninspired. Those pics look like some photo-student tried to imitate his style. Boooooooooring.
