Marko wrote:Maybe I'm being oversensitive about it all, but I feel a bit of discomfort with the idea of taking photos of people who are as far down as those in the first pic, especially as the guy in the middle seems to be trying his best to stay out of shot. The whole set is embued with squalor and if all you had to go on were those pics, you could almost be forgiven for thinking that was all Glasgow was in 1980.
I feel as if the photographer unwittingly went out of his way to find such images, all the while thinking he was capturing the average Glasgow punter for posterity, and I can't help thinking of the Spitting Image sketch where Prince Charles wants to speak to a "typical Londoner", only to be told by his flunky that "there weren't all that many typical people about today, sir...".
