Wow... that's pretty scary. This may be one of the most disturbing things I've seen in a while.

It really is. I didn't know what to think. It's put a little differently at the site (the "Is this Art" is before the pictures, and then the quote), so I found it amusing, at first.

Then I looked back at the pictures and thought, "How true?!?!?! That adult is seriously messed up."

yes it is

That is art. Just like Damien Hirst's sheep in a tank is art...

Why do none of them have shirts on? I think this is just weird. Making naked children cry for art? Surely there must have been some other way to express themselves, but making kids cry for art is just nasty. Give back their lolly! :p

It's art to some extent, if you look at the artist's intentions, but the nakedness of the children and morbid point of view goes a little bit overboard for me. It's art, just bad art.

its sadddd!

im sure they gave the lollipops back after

Mild child porongraphy.

LOL, that is art, BUT i never cried or got that mad when a lolipop was taking from me

its genious

hes like photography's aspect of Andy Worhol!

i love it

why don the little girls have shirts on?

HAR HAR HAR

I saw it too, but didn't wanna be the first one to bring it up.

why are they all naked???, you didnt tell us how she got them to do that???

Kinda wierd. Reminds me of this woman photographer, forget her name. But anyways she had several children, and they were always banging em selves up, getting skinned knees, fat limps, ya know, normal stupid kid shit. So she woudl photograph em in Black and white, released a book too. Kind of looks liek a imatation of her. i'll post if i can find out who she was later on..

How high you got to be to decide youre gonna frame a sheep?
