Terry Richardson has been branded as an 'alt photographer' who was often associated with a 'gritty, raw' aesthetic.  I am not sure if he is 'alt.' Seems to have 'turned the mainstream corner' with Vice Magazine.  Most of the memes he produces have to do with mainstream stuff / ppl.  Seems good for his career to get 'jersey shore hits', and good for websites since he produced enough photos to generate a 'photo gallery.'

It seems like all of those bros are 'getting fat' now that they are famous + don't work out an more.  Worried that their muscle man boobs are turning into moobs of flab.

Need 2 pump iron.

Need 2 get blowjobs

'Fist Pump' joke

Orange skin + human stegosaurus joke

Hope DJ Pauly D becomes a relevant alt DJ in the post blog house dubstep scene

Wish I could be a critically acclaimed photograph, but my parents won't even buy me a DSLR. Stuck with the point and shoot I got as a high school graduation present. Feel like a 'fucking loser' when I hold my camera up 2 get pix at concerts, but feel more authentic

Wish I could have been on Jersey Shore, and gone macrofamous.
Wish I could be a photographer for high end brands and magazines.
Wish I had invested in guido memes + guido humor in 2k5.
Hope that a television network does a better job of exploring more angry subcultures, like the MassHole or maybe 'Mexicans.'

Did Terry Richardson 'fuck up' by not taking borderline pornographic pix of the pussy of Jersey Shore?

Is photography 'art'?
