from wincing and laughing. Geeez, just show me the pictures. I believe this counts as a poseur alert. Dunno, maybe not.
Buffalo News - Photography exhibit leaves in the latest wrinkles: "There is, still, much work in this show that is most likely realized through the lens of the camera. Catherine Opie's marvelous 14 untitled images of Malibu surfers retains the sense of real place, even if it may allude to a spiritual condition as represented by the Catholic Stations of the Cross. John Pfahl's images of Niagara Falls (in the room labeled 'The Sublime') also have the sense of an in-place camera doing the main work - although their candidacy for the 'sublime' may be weakened by Pfahl's underlying conceptual stance. You can't be thinking things out when you're about to pitch yourself into the unknown that is the sublime. "
