You can laugh at the people who buy everything Vice magazine has to offer, but without them you and I wouldn’t be here, and without you and I what else is there but big steaming pile of “them”? Comments/Enlarge | See all

What is this, an ex-girlfriend convention? There’s the London cokehead you had crazy fights with that ended in apartment-smashing sex AND there’s the awkward punky girl from San Francisco you dated when you both thought you were going to be in a band forever. And now here they are in your brain every morning asking “Which memory of us do you want to beat off to?”

photo is photo.
one thing great about his talent.
he can put some meaning and strong message in a shot.
the talent casused these comment up there n some money movement.
but, still
picture is picture..
it's a good looking, happy smiling photo. it's might have some deep meaning. maybe intended. good balance.
his smile is as shocking as the T shirt.
the T shirt is as impessive as the smile.
the gap is what he was trying to put in a shot, i guess.
something in his head. something what he want to shout out. i guess. just a guess... like the picture.

Sandra B.

I totally disagree. I see him as a very damaged and vulnerable person. I do pity him. Yes, I think he's a charity case. I think he is helpless. I think he's been able to turn his own sense of deep personal confusion into a successful art career, but I don't think that was some kind of manipulative ploy guided by vanity, or trying to be "cool," or "popular," or stylish or fashionable. I find much of his work to reflect the viewpoint of a man who is very defeated, and despite the crass suggestion of many of his photos, also very devastated by his world. I don't get the sense that the things he photographs make him at all happy, and yet he photographs them anyway, which I think makes them more tender. To me, it's that sense of personal struggle that gives his work it's weight. Maybe in the eyes of some, he's a success. But I still see him as a very damaged person, who in some ways is in a state of mourning about his own work and his own life.

Just for the record, the last two comments were posted after 12 on a Friday night and the word "hydrocephalic" was involved. Yep.

Fanny, your defense makes Terry Richardson sound like a hydrocephalic schoolgirl or a kitten with a hurt paw. He is not. In fact, he is a successful fashion photographer who loves fucking his models and doesn't care who knows it. He's not a charity case who got famous despite his own ineptitude: charity cases don't have oversized Taschen monographs. He has a famous photographer father, a lot of connections, exactly one idea (which has managed to spawn a generation of misguided imitators), and as far as I can tell, no soul.

Calling Terry Richardson "played out," is like calling a casino "fun." You're only reinforcing the message that has been bombarding you since before you were paying attention. Do you honestly think Terry Richardson has any interest in self-promotion? Do you think his work was ever stylish to the degree that it could now somehow not be so? His work is so self-deprecating, so admittedly ugly; How can you have the heart to even try to insult him? He's helpless and he knows it! We all know it, and that's why we love him.

I know this is probably the most unacceptable comment you can make on a Vice forum since Terry Richardson essentially IS Vice Magazine, and half the other photos in this issue are "inspired" by his played-out ass, but GODDAMN I'm sick of this moron. The grin, the bad teeth, the piercings, his cock ubiquitously hanging out of his pants, the "signature" specs, the way he's unthinkingly lionized by supposedly cultured people: all of it. Don't tell me I don't get it: I get it. Don't tell me you know him and he's a nice person or some bullshit. The only other photographer who annoys me half as much is Juergen Teller.

Also, on an unrelated note, I can't believe they make that shirt in that size. Holy fuck.

That kid is everything a child should be: scratched from some adventure, smiling because he's happy, and full of unnecessary obscenities.

Ah, childhood...

i picked up the photo issue in stussy and found it rather pleasing, but everybody else in my house thought it was crap. I had to retrieve it from the garbage, cause one of my roomate's threw it away. which leads me to this mediocore conclusion, why is there no o'DELL photos?

Honestly, this kid looks like he's been dressed at American Outfitters. Back when I was a kid it was dollar shirts and dollar pants, not 100$ jeans cuz shit, when your'e a kid a pair of pants will last you a week because it will either a)rip to shred or b)you'll grow out of it.

Sometimes I convince myself that Terry Richardson's work has already peaked and that his style is passe. But then I see work like this and I realize that his nuts are in the back of my throat and that I had only momentarily passed out.

A little too easy, no? I mean, "ha, ha, the kid's giving the finger." It's basically on the same plane as those beauty pageants- kids acting like adults. Doesn't really say anything about the kid, but gives a pathetic impression of the parents. Kids like this are gonna make boomers look like robot legions programmed to do my bidding. I do like the shit above his eye though.
