Tim Macpherson, “Pregnant Boy on a Skateboard”
Nominated for the Sony World Photography Award
Art, like life, isn’t always beautiful, nor should it be. Art sometimes has to grab up firmly by the back of the head, push us into a pile of dog shit, and say, “SEE THIS? NOW TASTE IT!” If we only view the art that we like, or the art that we find pleasing, then we are doing ourselves a serious disservice by completely ignoring an entire range of expression — the same as if we never expressed anger, hatred, jealousy, or sadness in our own lives. They are part of the human experience, and thus, a part of us. We cannot ignore them. Ugly art, disturbing art, terrorizing art all have places in the museum of life. Art is merely a reflection of our own selves, and if we refuse to view negative or ugly art, we by extension fail to acknowledge our weaknesses as humans and thus fail to improve ourselves. — Raptorschwanz

it may be art. it’s definitely interesting. but do you think its aesthetic? or does it even turn u on? o_O

It’s no turn on, right but it’s a nice way of gender terrorism.

Nominated for the Sony World Photography Award. I suppose that means no photoshop right? So that means this is real and…ok to the point: is he really pregnant or what?
Gender terrorism. I like that expression :p

I’m glad you like what I said, Josh. It’s truly how I feel, and I’m honoured that you’ve quoted me here.

It is a bit different, I must say. But I am strangely drawn to it.
Any chance of there being more?
