Listen,
Of course there has been many before Mcginley, photographing their bohemian friends in their bohemian settings with their cigarettes and their enlarged pupils (nan goldin, larry clark) but, in truth, regardless of your personal opinion, Mcginley’s photographs are just... well, beautiful. He has the ability to capture the essence of a time and seduces you in doing so. Fuck you all, i bet most of you don’t have what he has. Or have enough interesting friends to pose. |

tee hee hee. just publish his polaroids before his death so we all can see what we truly love about his work: living the lower east side dream as a young drugged-up beauty queen. ryan mcginley is fucking retarded and overrated. american decadent waste of money inflated dildo in everyone’s ass. and then the kids that want to be him just so they can drink beer and rip up $100 bills... p.s just because you shoot film doesn’t mean you’re a photographer, it just means that you have more money than the rest of us and that you subscribe to the false status quo that vice is peddling as ’today’s young contemporary (art?) photography’. |
