Google Reader Response: #3


While viewing some of the different photo blogs I am subscribed to, I came across this photograph by Amy Lyne titled Butts, Butts and more Butts on "Hey Hot Shot Blog." I think what drew me to this image initially was how candid of a photograph this is --- in many ways, especially living in Florida, this image is relatable or reminiscent to a humorous, tacky postcard available in nearly all supermarkets. I found it interesting, however, that it depicts a sort of absurd, grotesqueness to these beach-goer butts as opposed to it being something appealing or sexually arousing. I think I found this of particular interest now that I'm settled on a theme, since I want to achieve a similar effect from my photographs by turning sexually-oriented things humorously grotesque.
