Well, why I find the work good ...Thanks, Anonymous. <BR/>Well, why I find the work good and important:<BR/>first of all, Erik has managed to get a discussion going (for example on Fotosidan). For me that is an indicator in itself. It is possible that the images could have been taken with a flash or be developed in urine or whatever. In this case I don't find it important, the series has something to tell me something anyway.<BR/><BR/>If I did this project, I would probably do it more abstract, but Erik's choice works fine for me. <BR/><BR/>But thanks for explaining, it makes more sense now. And for sure, this should be a forum to express opinions about different qualities.Mattiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17130862782083267722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34203838.post-31109572069310953172008-12-12T18:33:00.000+01:002008-12-12T18:33:00.000+01:00It´s really interesting to see how sensitive issue...It´s really interesting to see how sensitive issue this is. I thought that we have left the question about being art or not cause now "almost everything or anything can be"... Why making the border less fuzzy? Why not keeping our mind open and see the big point of photography in all it´s levels, perspective, genres and point of views.Jeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09205870753991471321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34203838.post-16548915208270744882008-12-11T15:41:00.000+01:002008-12-11T15:41:00.000+01:00Why is it that only human suffering is good photog...Why is it that only human suffering is good photography?<BR/>This is a documentation of a swedish slaugtherhouse nothing else!<BR/><BR/>Erik LindegrenErik Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644619120569977077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34203838.post-59436699444393337422008-12-11T13:55:00.000+01:002008-12-11T13:55:00.000+01:00Important documentary photography!Important documentary photography!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34203838.post-28811147468738608462008-12-10T14:03:00.000+01:002008-12-10T14:03:00.000+01:00Both sides now.I don´t think that the real issue h...Both sides now.<BR/><BR/>I don´t think that the real issue here is whether these photos are good or bad, and its certainly not about if its ok for a person to be anonymous or not. Of course it is. <BR/><BR/>The real issue is that the F-blog staff recently characterized a great deal of the images at the F-blog as being too “nice”, too “slick” and “tame”. The F-blog staff also implied that a majority of the contributing photographers doesn’t “want” anything with their images, and that the solution (obviously) is to publish more “political photography”. <BR/><BR/>This anonymous statement from the staff can only be described as a stab in the back to all the dedicated and talented image makers that has contributed with so many fascinating, interesting and, yes beautiful pictures, during the years that the blog existed . <BR/><BR/>The description of political photographers as being the only ones (?) that “wants” something, and that beautiful images doesn´t have any other purposes than just being pretty, is incredibly ignorant and rude. And all this from a web site that describes itself of being without prejudice and that it wants to evoke interest for photography as an art form. Yeah right.<BR/><BR/>Yes, this is all about politics, more precise, the politics of the F-blog.Jan Busehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14773241733425281413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34203838.post-62621747474212007622008-12-10T11:48:00.000+01:002008-12-10T11:48:00.000+01:00it has nothing to do with politics.

Erik's pictures are definitely not beautiful but still show piece of our reality. Why not to show it? Finally why not to discuss about it? As well poems as novels or written documents are just giving an asumpt for further discussion. Photography is about everything, everything is about photogrphy.<BR/>btw, wemarcin górskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00927274210691451032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34203838.post-69665266144586929192008-12-09T22:29:00.000+01:002008-12-09T22:29:00.000+01:00Well, if you look at the whole series, there are i...Well, if you look at the whole series, there are indeed more "feeling" photos of the individual pigs. A good question is however how much symphathy we as viewers have with the animals in the pictures?<BR/><BR/>Political, well no, not really, in themselves. It is reality.<BR/><BR/>Inevitably, they will however evoke discussion. Hopefully a good discussion - and some reflection?<BR/>-ChristianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34203838.post-82259441899353426112008-12-09T21:47:00.000+01:002008-12-09T21:47:00.000+01:00I agree with Tatiana.

If I got a comment like that on my work, I would like an explanation about what is so bad about it, and at least have a name to respond to. To leave an anonymous comment like that is not very good manners in my opinion.<BR/><BR/>Personally I think the series is good and important. I'm just a bit annoyed that Erik was first ;-)<BR/><BR/>/Mattias LundbladMattiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17130862782083267722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34203838.post-14298821018736322752008-12-09T13:30:00.000+01:002008-12-09T13:30:00.000+01:00Passar bra nu när vi börjar närma oss jul, och så ...Passar bra nu när vi börjar närma oss jul, och så här nära inpå rapporterna om skyhöga dioxinhalter i griskött från Irland!Johanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642587557539821012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34203838.post-63234486862936048062008-12-09T13:26:00.000+01:002008-12-09T13:26:00.000+01:00Strong documentary photography indeed !tatianaStrong documentary photography indeed !<BR/><BR/>tatianaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34203838.post-90515110649499879352008-12-09T11:52:00.000+01:002008-12-09T11:52:00.000+01:00please. it is an important issue but this is not a...please. it is an important issue but this is not a political blog. its a photography blog. and this is not good photography.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34203838.post-89284959136215491932008-12-09T00:16:00.000+01:002008-12-09T00:16:00.000+01:00Great and important series Erik.Great and important series Erik.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34203838.post-71510818015823262962008-12-08T21:01:00.000+01:002008-12-08T21:01:00.000+01:00Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
