This afternoon I was reading the Large Format Photography Forum and came
across a very interesting post by a woman photographer on time who I
admire. She was made subject to what I can only consider as abuse and
violence by a homosocial group of homophobic sexist men who one could
not even consider as fifth rate illustrators.
I have sent my complaint to the forum administrators along with this
post as follows: basically I have had enough of this bullshit and if
they wish to take it further I will act to have the forum shut down. As
follows is my reply:
Another interesting and very worthwhile approach would be Gilles
Deleuze's writing on cinema and theories of the image. I did a seminar
on his theories as an undergrad and was very impressed. These decades
later it seems Deleuze is now considered the most important philosopher
since Kant, so I find myself going back there.
Sorry, on another point, can I expressed my severe distress in which
Annie was first treated. This is not a question of free speech but that
of criminal abuse and violence against women. While those ever so
superior masculine men may consider it okay to abuse, rape and bash
women and along the way kill a few gay men, I do not share this criminal
activity as being okay!
I am still considering my own involvement in this forum given the
violent criminal activity I have witnessed. Chris Jones.
