Um... I question the legitimacy of the "amish" photo. They don't usually let people take their pictures.

It looks like he has his sclera (white parts of the eyes) tattooed.

ProteinFarts
To criticise without first looking at all available data is the quintessence of ignorance, and downvoting does not change that fact
dakotaraptor
I didn't downvote though. I just quoted it as suspect. You'll notice I didn't say anything negative or positive, at least not specifically.
ShittyMcShit
It's controversial... Doesn't mean it's not true. :D
Cenote
Doesn't mean that it's true either though. :x
Flyndaran
Bullshit. You don't say that about elves, unicorns, ghosts, and hexes, do you?
Flyndaran
If you do, then while I vehemently disagree, I can at least respect your internal consistency.
ShittyMcShit
It doesn't. But I'd rather stay open on the subject and not conform to the default rejection... But that's just me. :)
Cenote
No that's not just you, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
ShittyMcShit
I like to believe there is some evidence... But only if you really look for it. I know that sounds like a cop-out statement, but (1/2)
ShittyMcShit
(3/2) this sounds like another cop-out, but if you ask me, all of what I said makes sense to me. Everything is possible. :)
ShittyMcShit
(2/2) what if the extraordinary evidence you speak of can't be classified or sensed in the same way as our everyday evidence? Again,

Perhaps she should look for one in the indigent section at Macy's.
GenuineHumanFemale
Bras are expensive. She probably can't afford one that fits.

So a photographer takes a bunch of pictures and can't find how to explain them, so he claims the art is in the viewer's comprehension. Sure.
ahernandez
Thank you!
sassass
Hey! Art is always defined by the viewer's comprehension. A-doi-doi
meiadox
I have gotten away with that in art critiques its not even funny. Its like my degree means nothing.... Aw, I made myself sad.
yourspellingisbadandyoushouldfeelbad
how's life as a barista?
meiadox
Im still in school. Ill let you know in a couple years.
daelythm
Well, let's see. If I do a Venn Diagram for each pairing... I would give my bologna sandwich to my cat. Every time.
chiefgeronimo
1/2 eally disagree with you, just as an author to the ending of a book doesn't have to spell out the meaning for you, neither does
Xeynid
The difference here is that the photographer's explanation does sound like a veiled "I have no idea what the fuck this is"
chiefgeronimo
I think when you consider that the photographer went out of his way to find certain people, that couldn't be easy. he had a goal, a purpose.
chiefgeronimo
2/2 this photographer. The meaning we draw form something ourselves is often the most satisfying. Maybe you're the lazy one.
Durzaka
my thoughts exactly. Fuck this kind of "art"
LencerSpewis
I think that criticism is valid for some pieces of art, but I think the connections are pretty clear here
yourspellingisbadandyoushouldfeelbad
draw the connection between the kid with the cow and the Cajun man for me
IDontKnowHowToHuman
It see,s more about contrast. One has a very big but docile animal, the other has a fairly small deadly predator.
sexysalmon
They're both southern and are showing off prized animals. Also, they're both wearing plaid!

Same buddy. However, I dont use 4chan as much anymore most of the boards I liked became worthless.
LatexAndLesbians
I only really hang out in /vg/ and the generals are all filled with shitposting anyways.
IsMaithLiomTurtair
I like /f/ cause most sites don't have a flash board even if most of the flashes on 4chan are copies of youtube videos.
LatexAndLesbians
I'm still pretty new, so I haven't really explored all the boards yet.
DexterM
Painfully accurate.
SAIKOsean
More like hardly accurate.
jscott294
4chan has now ruined your credit, frozen your bank account, put child porn on your computer and called the cops. RIP. They're ruthless.
astamurti
My bank account isn't frozen.
Winterous
To be fair, they usually only do that to assholes.
punner
True, and a post like this on there would not even be noticed.
Winterous
Like OP? Probably just a few jokes about the black people.
punner
True, maybe also some /pol/ involved with the assisted suicide patient and holocaust survivor.
yourspellingisbadandyoushouldfeelbad
nah, it's gotten too famous and now there's even more shit posting, which is an impressive feat on it's own
Broducer
been that way since 2008 as far as I can tell. If it's gotten worse, I don't want to know.
skyvigilante
just gotta point out on the "Marine/War Veteran" photo that they're both Marines...and they're both war veterans. You know, for Memorial Day
FistOfCuervo
Memorial Day is for remembering those who are no longer with us. Not to remember those who still are.
skyvigilante
Coming from personal experience: those most likely to remember the ones who are no longer with us, are the ones who still are.
IDontKnowHowToHuman
Yeah, but there's Veteran's Day for honoring the still-living veterans.
