I disagree. I feel that this is a very powerful image. I do not see a foil shaped woman with holes, instead I see the sun. I see the sun in the shape of a woman, which could have all kinds of meaning. I see it as being some sort of mother nature reference, or portraying the fact that the woman is "hot" literally and figuratively. Also, I don't know a lot about film photography, so color paper may not be all that exciting, but to me it is. It really brings the image to life and I feel as though the image would not be at all successful if it were in black and white. I have never seen a photograph like this and that says something. It may not be amazing or difficult to execute, but it is certainly unique and it's refreshing to see someone do something different.
Well for starters, if you are going to poke fun at a LEGENDARY director such as STEVEN Spielberg, the least you could do is spell the man's name correctly.
Second of all, in no way shape or form does this picture have any kind of reference to a Spielberg film. I don't recall any glowing people in Jaws or Schindler's List. Not even Close Encounters Of The Third Kind had shiny people, and that would be the best bet of having it out of the bunch.
Third of all, this is a cool picture. A DAMN cool picture. If our sun was in the shape of a woman, I'd be blind by now from staring at it all day. If our sun was in the shape of a woman, I would throw away all my dreams and ambitions, and become an astronaut instead. The amount of work to make this kind of art happen is admirable by itself. Think about it. This lady had to pose naked for hours while some artist traced around her on some wall. Can you say awkward? And not all pictures need to be a surreal fantasy or questioning on society. Bottom line, not all pictures need an indepth perspective or intellectual background. Less is more. This pleases the eye by mixing sex appeal and the badassery of explosions and fire. Kind of like a Michael Bay film. You don't see his films for story or character development. You just go for the visual appeal and try to forgive the shitty storyline and horrible acting. (Readers Notice: I in no way support Michael Bay or enjoy his shitburger films in the least bit possible)
To Michele fair enough I think it is the repetition of image after image hinging on the same technique that tends to make the impact less impressive.
To Mike too-shay the spelling is now corrected and I was taking some liberty with Mr. Spielberg as a famous sci-fy geek who could stand in for lot of sci-fy geeks and doesn't A.I. end with a glowing lady?
