Politically incorrect - UGLY/FAT/SEXY/OTHER CHALLENGES... Photo Gallery by crina. at pbase.com

Politically incorrect - UGLY/FAT/SEXY/OTHER CHALLENGES...

A gallery about imperfection - and its ubiquity. I don't know about others, but I, for one, am sick of the HYPOCRITICAL and the JUDGMENTAL.
Less perfection makes us human. No insult intended.

and a fashionable quote:

Political Correctness = Faschismus auf der Seite der "Guten".
(Peter Becker in de.soc.familie. kinder)

SO, CHEERS TO THOSE WHO ARE IMPERFECT, AND PROUD TO BE THEMSELVES.

From the title, I expected much worse that I go. They seem to me to be natural photos of natural people (for once). why should we tryto be what we are not. The photos are interesting, and well presented too. Very well done.

I love that gallery! http://www.pbase.com/omer12/almost_black__black

I absolutely love your gallery and the diverse imagery as it is captiviating and humorous. To be a bit of a contrarian however, I don't quite get the "politically incorrect" concept as I experience your gallery more in the sense of "people". You hit that essence dead-on. Political correctness is simply a banal form of relativism -- sort of like pornography, it's hard to quantify, but you know it when you see it. That said, a nice gallery creatively captured. V

Very interesting collection you have here.

Cecilia Winston		04-Jun-2007 15:32
A thoroughly marvelous slice of human life and the variations on the theme thereof. Super details, expressions, compositions, cropping, endlessly interesting and surprising and funny and all that we are as human beings/doings. How great to get to travel to your land from my office chair, here in front of my Mac, and see all these high-cheekbones, expressive eyes, wealth of hair, bitsandpieces of clothing and jewelry and habits and flesh, in all its glory. Ii think I may have to come and experience your varied land & people for myself, some day!

Richard Calmes		28-Nov-2006 13:28
I think these are excellent candids of people being people! Nice work!

John Cooper		25-Nov-2006 00:11
By deciding all these people are imperfect, you have become part of the politically correct brigade. You have put them in a group, and you have labelled them. Personally I refuse to be labelled. I am what I am. Possibly someone said that before me.

Kaden Kratzer		14-Nov-2006 06:55
Candid expressive photographs that are eye catching. Thanks for sharing your eye's gaze.

Candice Caballero		14-Nov-2006 06:36

Just wonderful! voted.

raymond ker		02-Sep-2006 11:41
Oh, I love this hilariously irreverant galery, you naughty girl! It's astonishing and educational the way your PC commentary is couched in PI language ..... or is it the other way around? ... ..... who the hell cares anyway! The way that you negotiate the tightrope proves incontavertibly that you have a copious supply of beer nourishing your brain cells. We pray that the tankard is bottomless. ...... But actually, under that humorous veneer lurks a serious kernel of human and social commentary ....... Warmest congratulations. Ray ..... V !!!

Vipin Mayer		23-Aug-2006 22:34
In your gallery of imperfection i see a lot of perfectly captured pictures,most of them well composed and taken at certain interesting moments, specially the closeups showing their expressions.
