Dude, I don't know if you're pulling our leg, serious, or this is a parody of boy's style. Doesn't matter cause I'm laughing my ass off. I like the style and technique of both cowboys and self portrait 6. I didn't like any of the Bettys, maybe cause that's my mom's name. But Like I said don't know your intent but if it's to make me LMAO... mission accomplished.

I LOVE this collection of photos. Betty 2 is my favorite!!! I don't know what you did in the processing...but I love the look. This is brave and wonderful (to me) maybe to you it is just what you do....i don't know. :)

Oddly the one I like the best is Betty 2. I do think it is artistic. Art is different in everyones eyes. That being said I have to agree with bugaboo on the rest except for the spiders part.

These are RAD! (Yeah, I used the word rad. Just shoot me with a fake gun.) I love them all! It does my heart good knowing that there are others who like to dress up, and take pictures of themselves. Bravo!

Good job on the lighting on Self Portrait and the cowboys...Betty is too odd for me.. IMHO.

I know there are a lot of people out there that will probably say the same things about my pictures...but I simply don't see the art or creativity in this...in either the quality of the photos or of the subject matter...maybe it's just me, but I'm being honest with my opinion...

usually ...if i see something i do not care for...i do not comment. i assume, if my opinion is that diverse from the subject matter - the photographer probably does not care what i think.

The beauty of diversity is that you have to be diverse enough to hear my opinion too...or perhaps it might be construed that maybe the message that is being preached is not diversity at all, but bias instead....

You gotta be kidding. When I saw this post first thing this morning, I chocked on my coffee. After I got to work I had to check my calendar to see if it’s April’s Fools day. I know I’m goona shoot myself in my foot (again) on this one. Home-Boy have you looked in a mirror lately. You & your alter ego “Betty” need a reality check. I thought that this post was a reject segment form Saturday Night Live

Everyone has a right to their opinion......true. But here at Photographica, I have always felt that we were here to judge the photo not the subject matter. ....judge the photo not the photog :oP

Subject matter is one of (if not the) most important part of a photograph. Without subject matter, there wouldn't be a photo. With that said, I just like to say that the subject matter here in these images are amazing. The fact that they can provoke thoughts and feelings of sexuality, humor, happiness, sadness, disgust, innocents, anger, etc, etc, etc....well that just tells me that it's true art. And if someone out there doesn't like it, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I think it just validates the piece even more. :) Ok, somebody take this damn soap box away from me. I should go back to not commenting. :)

Thanks for everyones comments.. I took these images with a huge sense of humor.. These are apart of an on going series so expect more to come.. I think they come from a lack of obtaining models.. it's just cheaper to shoot yourself.. Thanks blizzard i couldnt say it any better!
