Somebody pointed me to it on Friday and I spent like three hours looking at it, making sure I didn't miss a single picture. It's the perfect sort of art for these times. Once you move beyond the first reaction of, "Nerds, Nerds, Nerds" and you go deeper and start imagining these people's life stories, it is really compelling. There is a kind of vulnerabilty in a person that is sitting for a portrait that I find moving. The computer disc guy just intrigues the hell out of me. I swear that thing should be hanging in the National Gallery. He must have just graduated from Computer School or something, is all I can figure. As uncool looking as he is, I still find myself giving him a mental thumbs up and saying, "Good for you, Jack - Enjoy your moment! And hey, leave some ladies for the rest of us, will ya killer?"
