CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL

Comment posted by david bowen on November 5, 2008

Great contrast between the two pictures... The second one seems to be a carricature !

Comment posted by François on November 5, 2008

oh le méchant CLICHE !!! ;) bon ok, les républicains sont tous des obèses avachis et gavés, et les américains sont tous des...mais bon...c'est comme çà qu'on veut bien les voir ! Après il ne faut pas s'étonner que le cliché de la baguette et du béret persiste envers les français...on ne fait pas mieux !

great pictures, however I must agree with entropik.

juste parce que c'est un cliche, ne veut pas dire que c'est pas vrai.

et inversement... ;)
ici on cole une image, un cliché, sur ce que l'on s'attends en "réduction" à voir d'un républicain américain, obèse, sans gout vestimentaire, etc...
ce qui est plus "cliché" ici c'est justement l'utilisation de ce genre d'image ! on aurait pu à mon avis trouvé une photo d'une belle républicaine dépité habillé en tailleur très chic...çà aurait pu être "vrai" tout autant ! non ?...

Intéressant, pour continuer dans la veine d'Entropik, d'autant plus que contrairement au rassemblement Obama dans un grand parc public de Chicago, celui de McCain se trouvait dans un complexe hotélier à Phoenix, une réception privée pour les 'haves and haves mores'... Les minettes en tailleur Chanel et talons très hauts devaient effectivement être légions (ne sont-elles pas davantage l'incarnation du Républicain qui ne veut pas qu'on touche à son argent?)... Mais, comme toujours on va pour l'image stéréotypée...

entendu. but you describe another cliche/ sterotype (minettes en tailleur Chanel) as a substitute for my cliche.

Comment posted by Christopher Anderson on November 6, 2008

Yes, indeed... you're right... well, i guess life is full of clichés and we pick the ones we find the most photogenic!

Well, honestly, as a photographer I would rather make pictures like Peter made did here rather Christopher. It strikes me as a bit unkind. I'm a big admirer of Christopher's work and his ability to communicate. His Palestine photos are stuck in my mind. I'm not American but I was in NYC for the election and you could really sense the great fatigue with 8 years of Bush. I understand and sympathize with this myself. I despised seeing the republican tactics and manipulations. However, regardless of the fact that my grandparents (as these are undoubtedly someone's grandparents) can say and think some very ugly things, it doesn't mean that I love them any less.

"...as a photographer I would rather make pictures like Peter made here than Christopher."

Sorry for the tortured sentences...
