Very cruel.<br /><br />Elisabeth I'll check out Lynn's work when Sapphire's not about to walk into the study and look over my shoulder!<br /><br />It's desperately sad, River. To think that she's somebody's mother and felt like what she was doing was what she *had* to do. I'm sad that I saw it, yet I couldn't look away from her face. Yes, her face.Kath Locketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677312773827236567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-32518822060057782852010-09-23T09:41:57.000+02:002010-09-23T09:41:57.000+02:00Oh this is sad, Kath.

And maybe it was enough to see her through and she never had to do this again.<br />I hope no-one had blackmailed her into it. That's worse. <br />Google images aren't always what we'd like them to be are they?<br />Although I've never come across any like that.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-24166645897370299712010-09-23T08:21:53.699+02:002010-09-23T08:21:53.699+02:00Some images can disturb us, move us, as you say, K...Some images can disturb us, move us, as you say, Kath and cause us to want to intervene. <br /><br />Have you seen Lynn Behrendt's work, her series of images: http://ia360705.us.archive.org/0/items/WhatIsBeautiful/WhatIsBeautiful.m4v<br /><br />Not for the feint hearted, any more than what you describe here.<br /><br />Lynn Behrendt is interested in notions of ugliness and beauty, which in some ways your post touches on here though yours is more psychological, sociological perhaps than aesthetic, though come to think of it so is Lynn's.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015624747225433940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-2702038422645546162010-09-23T06:00:59.189+02:002010-09-23T06:00:59.189+02:00Yep.

It's huge pity that there isn't a price on compassion - maybe that's why it's priceless. Great post.Pandora Behrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582255671962095503noreply@blogger.com
