Photographer Jill Greenberg caught a lot of flak recently from Atlantic magazine for getting hired to take a cover photo of John McCain, and then intentionally lighting him to look like the pasty, jowly monster that he is. At first I found this amusing, and then I ran across these photos she took of children crying. Now I think she needs a new shrink. Her intent, she claims, was to depict what she says reminded her of the “helplessness and anger I feel about our current political and social situation.” Which she strangely thinks will be remedied somehow by literally taking candy from children and photographing them? Hey Jill! Maybe you could vote or something! The McCain photos were recently pulled from her site, but you can still find some of them here. And then you’ll understand why he pays that $5,000 makeup person everyone’s giving him such a hard time about.
