People should appreciate the photography for what it is rather than complain of what it has become.
People, Aaron, are uneducated little maggots who'd rather watch soap operas, read drama on GFY and go to see Arnold say "I'll be bahck!" Hats off to the artist, but you can't (easily) educate the consumers. What's art for you may be shit for others and vice versa. And then, every once in a while, a publicist/marketer steps in and takes on an artist to hype up. We've seen many examples of this, in many of which the "art" was quite questionable. Don't wanna get into a debate over what's art and what's not, as that will ALWAYS be subject to personal taste. But I hope I've succeeded in making a point here.
