went to my 30th reunion. I was unable to drive due to a broken hip. my then 24 year old nephew drove me & I knew my friends who were on the alumni committee would hook him up with the 5 year & 10 year reunion group(s)

He was amazed and in awe when he was partying at the house I was staying in & the aroma of pot was about, there was plenty of beer & other booze & our friends on their souped up motorcycles stopped, parked and came in.

When he got home, he told his cousins "you have to go on a trip with Aunt M...., when you're 21 or older."

I suspect with regards to the images I posted that the reaction from the Lounge has been pretty much what it was from the class when I presented my project (including seven more images in the same vein) about thirty years ago.

In other words:

Honestly, the class was completely silent and shocked when I pinned these images to the board. My instructor, however, loved my project because I was willing to step so far outside of the box without violating the few rules of the project that most people had no idea how to react. It took them a while to regain their senses and then begin their critique.

Luckily, I wasn't in a class of fellow art students, or the critique might have been rather different (I would suspect some would appreciate the artistic value as well as the subject matter, while others would be indifferent, as I found all too often in graphics class critiques.) This was an elective class (I don't recall why I was taking it as I'd already had many years of photography up to then) and filled with people not in art in any way. Mostly business degree people thinking they were going to get an easy A.

I figured, too, that I'd post this here in the Lounge because I knew y'all appreciated the oddball and outrageous. The Photography group does to a point, but they also tend more towards the incredibly artistic versus the outrageous
