Naked Porn Stars!
Perhaps I am just confused. I am sure that Timothy Greenfield-Sanders is a fine photographer. It is clearly true that he can correctly expose film. But can someone tell me why taking 30 pictures of porn stars, whose entire job it is to pose naked for photographers, is being treated as if Vermeer had returned to Earth, complete with HBO special and a gallery show in New York?
I mean, is calling a book of porn star images The XXX Project pretentious or what? I’m sure that legions of photographers are saying, “Naked pictures of Jenna Jameson and Nina Hartley? I have thousands of them! Why does he get a show?”
Oh, well. Jenna Jameson looks quite striking without porn star makeup.
