Controversial?

[ChevyBaby]

aww thanks kyle for the most blunt and simple answer.

 

[GooniesNeverSayDie11]

i completely agree with your decision. i would do the same thing. i have no respect for those who have no respect for not only laws but others. why would i give them a gift? why would i want to brighten up their lives? prison is a joke, they have it to easy IMO. i hope you stick with your decision.

Cause happy and calm inmates are less likely to shank the guard. They do have too many rights, like the right not to be beaten when they throw a handful of their own feces at a passing guard. Also, the officers would benefit from the sprucing up as well. As lovely as it is checking incoming inmates for keistered contraband I am sure they would much rather look at Chevy's artwork during their day.

You are being a pompous AZZ


I think turning your nose up at this work shows your true character, and yes I would be embarrassed


On several points I think you are off base. Im betting you are a criminal on some level, just not caught and maybe not as bad of crime.

Your work in an environment like that might actually help someone get on a new track

Doing work like this is a great learning tool and you are a student

And yes having your work displayed in MET buildings would not look bad on a resume'

How do you reconcile the following statement you made with the first set of statements and allegations? The OP is a, "pompus azz", and "a criminal on some level", just not caught....and somehow you're the guy who is always looking for "the good", "rather than assuming the worst". Snort!

I guess Im the guy who is always looking for the good that something can do rather than assuming the worst.

Do i really need to step in here and start handing out infractions?... really?

Come on guys, you all know not to make personal attacks on each other, that includes the 'pompus azz' statement and the comments made to counter it... if someone is rude, press the report button and one of us will take care of them... some of you are old enough to know better.

To the OP, as a fellow Brit, i'd say do exactly as you please and disregard peoples criticisms... the subject of crime/prison/punishment etc is ALWAYS going to attract people from both sides... if someone is trying to shame you for your own opinion then they aren't intelligent enough to realize this.

Edit: BTW i keep reading your name as Chavybaby.... sorry i don't mean to!!

I dunno if i class as a beginner in the way you're trying to imply, i've been doing photography since i was 16 but i think this is a moral thing in my mind, i have no horse, just no confidence in my work when put in this situation...

My apologies if I confused you with someone else as a beginner. It is quite possible because I was easily confused last night. I also have been shooting since I was 16, but that was in 1974.

Your moral dilemma is something you'll have to reconcile with yourself. But a question to ask is, if your artwork was on display at any gallery, would visitors need to file an affidavit declaring they have never been incarcerated. Or is it just a person's current status that has importance? Not all inmates receive a life sentence.

That's a good point.... i think it's the idea that you are put in prison to serve a punishment and during that time you should be 'thinking about what you've done' as my mother used to tell me when i was naughty!

It's really funny you say that coz where i study my degree, people also study their National Diploma so theyre all like 16/17 year olds out of school and most of them are bright orange chavs who give up by the end of the first year. its like they only study it coz they wanna model....

Tents in the hot Arizona sun! Pink underwear! 3 squares and no perks...

!

F'n Love Joe Arpaio for giving this damn state ( Arizona ) Some balls.

EDITED: However, publicity makes it out as those are *all* of Arizona's Prisons. The ( high risk/ High level security) prisons/jails here dont F**k around -- no pretty paintings...no cheerful pictures, Pink underwear and outside cages in 118 degree F. They screwed up, thats why they're in Prison. Its a punishment not a privileged ( or vacation )... Why give to the people who make the streets unsafe and make their time easier.

I used to know a few people *in* prison... and coming from knowing 'how' they do sh*t on the inside, asking for so many handouts is...kind of bullsh*t, they have their own art programs, painting supplies ( and artists' ) at hand... they have art classes in most ( low level security ) prisons..
to walk into a visitation hall, and see canvas' and murals, paintings, sketches,(most which were amazing talent) jewelry, knitting... and cameras.. then turn around asking for the *public* handouts... I have no sympathy for the inmates there.

Obviously if they have been 'granted' that privilege--why cant they make theyre own art to hang?! Ya know?!

It is a classic, a high school friend in '81 had a 69 Camaro rs/ss with a 396 4 on the floor and posi track he bought for $1800 back then. It got toasted when someone ran a red light and took it out. The engine rated at over 550 hp. I would easily take a 69 Chevy Impala with a 454, its a beast. Those cars will never be matched.:thumbup:
