Unintended Irony

The Guardian reports on a somewhat controversial photo exhibit by Photographer Jill Greenberg. Ms. Greenberg took lollipops from her young models and then photographed their distressed faces. Not surprisingly, some people felt this was inappropriate.

The photos evidently convey the artist’s frustration with the Bush Administration. My buddy Dog comments:

Apparently lost on this ‘intellectual’ artist is the irony involved with comparing your views on politics to a blubbering baby.

The artist is trying to depict her feelings, not her views. Nonetheless, his comment cracks me up. (Photo: Jill Greenberg)
