All of this makes a statement not only about the artist, but about the artist's time, because the artist always works within their own time. Even we might like to think we're ahead of our times or reviving the past, but we are still a function of our time, and it's going to show one way or another.
That kind of brings to mind, regardless of how you feel about it one way or the other, I'm not trying to make a statement about the practice of the work other than it is true art form in photography.
And that is the Vanity Fair edition of Current Politicians in America. I don't know if you've seen those photographs by that. No, I haven't seen those yet, no.
Well, I've got the issue here. That photographer definitely chose to make a statement with those photographs. So, you know, a hundred years from now, if anyone sees that, they're going to understand that complicitly, explicitly.
Who was the photographer that did it? Let me, hold on, because I've got the magazine. What did Chas say? I didn't hear. He said he wanted to know the photographer.
Yeah, I'll get it and I'll tell you. Yeah, it was Annie. Because Annie does that kind of stuff with her photography, and she's really good at it.
Yeah, it's not Annie Leibovitz, but I'll find it. Hold on. What's funny is, like, a lot of people don't realize that, like, I came into this little scene device, little community back in 21.
Like, I still am and I always will be a photographer. Like, a lot of my AI stuff comes from when I built out my own photography. And, like, I still do photography all the time.
And I just don't show it off as much as I probably did. But, yeah, I'm always, like, interested to see what other photographers are doing. Yeah, Swati, go for it.
I'm going to meet Annie Leibovitz next month. Yes, she's talking in WPPI. She's a speaker there.
