Do you know about the feminist/pornographic artist, Marilyn Minter?
In the 80's, she was ridiculed in the NYC art world, for her Warhol-ish pornography, which she claimed was "feminist art."
Wow; she was so ahead of her time!
Now, she is a super star in the NYC art world, who has had exhibits at major NYC art museums, including the Whitney.
Have you ever heard of her?
I first heard of her from a feminist girl, when I moved to NYC three years ago.
I am a Marilyn Minter fan, for sure.
From "New York Magazine":
"The Damaged Glamour of Marilyn Minter"
June 2009
"Artist Marilyn Minter studies the pathology of glamour. Since the eighties, she has rendered beauty grotesque and gore beautiful with photos and photo-realistic enamel-on-metal paintings that shimmer like nail polish..."
waterfalls and surf.
i'd go through all sorts of contortions to get behind the waterfall or find a kinky angle to it. to do the same thing in surf required special gear since invariably i and everything would get wet. the waterproofing problem was interesting to solve.... 
i was strictly amateur, though i sold a few prints. however my fabulous second ex has all my old landscapes and the prints. that was part of "the deal". it's OK i got fair value on it.
recently i have only photographed a few travel shots and the occasional lady who has confidence in my compositional skills.
