So I have been recently figuring out the wonder of plugins and apps to connect twitter, facebook, myspace, and my blog to make updating things so much easier. I am so excited to finally be able to use my website so to be able to link it with all of my other networking sites it will hopefully bring some more people here where I can talk about more than just photography. Not that I don’t love talking about photography, but I have so many things I love that it’s nice to have a place to talk about them all. On that note here is something I thought people should know about.

As if people don’t hate Wal*Mart enough (or at least claim to), I recently read a story on Yahoo about Wal*Mart and H&M destroying all of their unworn clothes and shoes and then throwing them away in large garbage bags in Manhattan, a place where those clothes and shoes would have clothed so many homeless and poor people. They would cut off sleeves of coats and put holes in shoes. I mean SERIOUSLY? A place that makes the amount of money they do they can’t just DONATE it and get a giant tax write off? I am really hoping that they put an end to the selfishness and turn 2010 into a new beginning for our future. I am hoping to bring children into this world sometime in the next 5 years and I hope we can all do our part to turn things around. Now that you are aware of this injustice lets talk about poor Miss Watson!

What is wrong with this picture? Oh maybe a missing leg?? Or the way it just appears to disappear after a very awkward looking bend?

Mario Testino/Burberry

Even if this somehow was just a terribly awkward pose, you DON’T use an image that looks like this. According to yahoo she might have her leg up on a box and is holding onto her brother (yes her brother) for support and that her leg is behind his. I don’t buy it, especially after the Demi Moore incident with W magazine. This is an ad for Burberry that the Harry Potter star, Emma Watson, did with her brother. I have seen other images from this campaign and I love them, however as a photographer I don’t see how someone shooting high fashion advertisements would allow for an image to “natually” come out looking this unnatural.

Thanks for taking the time to read this if you’ve made it this far, and I look forward to some opinions of the Wal*Mart scandal and the case of the missing leg. Until next time!
