Thick and Thin

One of my friends on facebook makes me laugh a lot.

This is a superficial criticism, but I just saw this photo she uploaded and it reflects her personality. This person is overly consumed by her weight. She updates once a week about fear of aging or about beauty or weight. As a photographer, I find it difficult to criticize people’s looks. There isn’t a model alive who’s perfect. The job of the photographer is to find what is attractive and accentuate it. Then use the tools at hand to manipulate it the best ways possible. Otherwise, what you see is what you get. WYSIWYG!

Whether this girl meant to or not, I would defriend her over this caption below. Because inadvertently, she probably meant this as a backhanded criticism of her friend in pink (she’s the one in white).

    Do you think she did mean it? In my experience she’s not that witty ;-)

    I think it’s a little freudian-ish. I think it just turned out badly in terms of “thick to thin”.

    That girl is nuts.

    I took out that I send you her updates at the last minute, because I was trying to think through anything I might write that could bite me too hard in the ass later.

    It makes me think of one of those word games. like:

    mind
    matter

    equals “Mind over Matter.”

    Yeah, I saw my name in the RSS feed, but when I clicked on your blog it wasn’t there–I totally understand.
