I found this really cool/startling exhibit on flickr:
Excess and Despair in the American South by photographer Chris Osburn


Apparently Josh Jackson will only be in half the episodes in the third season? This distresses me. First, it reminds me horribly of season three of Lost where they split the show. One episode on the beach. The next episode with the captives that the others held. I hated the way they did that. Why can't they split the storylines and balance them in each episode? I just don't like this format at all.

Unlike many fans, I was not as thrilled with the back half of season two as everyone else seemed to be. More than anything I was disappointed with the way that they handled certain plot points that we'd been waiting to see unfold for a long time. I did still enjoy the show, I was just a bit disappointed in parts. But now, with this new format? It's going to test me as a viewer, that's for sure.

Okay, now I'm going to finally get ready for work.

As someone who grew up in the south and lives there now, I think what that exhibit is showing is really just a slice of the truth. [Not the whole pie.]

If you read the description on the main album page I think you get a clearer picture of what the artist was doing and what it meant to him. The title could have been chosen, better, I'll agree. And maybe some of the photos are more innocuous than others and didn't deserve to be included. But it's not like it doesn't depict some form of reality. It's a small geographical area where he was taking these pics, close to his very own hometown.

But it's not as though most or all of these things are exclusively southern, either.

I'm not saying he didn't have a right to do it, or that it doesn't reflect some form of reality. I just don't like it, which is my right too. :-)

I guess I just wanted you to know how I saw it. I understand that you don't feel the same way.


ETA: How inappropriate is my default buffy icon here? Whoops.

[kmousie.livejournal.com]

Didn't even think about the icon. And no worries. Don't feel like having a debate today, is all.

I think 90% of the time I use my default just because I forget to change it.

Understandable.
