Bravo, Bob. As much of a Ruddite as I am, I have to say Kev sounds disappointingly populist about Bill Henson's artistic worth. If you haven't seen Henson's photos in person (and really, they don't translate well to the web), I'd urge you to with withhold judgement until you do. They are astonishingly beautiful.
When I first saw the Paris Opera series, it opened my eyes to photography. I got my first SLR soon after, and have loved low light photography ever since. The enormous prints were hung high in a very dim gallery, just like old masters. http://blog.photoshelter.com/2008/05/bill-henson-at-the-opera-1.html D Bob W wrote: > Some people think there's no difference between nakedness and > pornography.
