seeking images for an art project



my name is mccalla hill, i'm a graduate student at the university of
montevallo in montevallo, alabama. and i've got an art project in
which the assignment is to react to an article called "intention and
artifice." within this article susan sontag is quoted as saying
photography is necessary to "stimulate buying and anesthesize the
injuries of race, class, and gender" within our captalist society. in
response to this i would like to create a digital media collage that
critiques the "Girls Gone Wild" phenomena within our society. this
phenomena speaks specifically to her quote as it exploits women's
bodies while convincing them through the illusion of potential fame,
the american panacea for the injuries of race,class, and gender, that
they are working the system rather than being worked by the system.
part of the requirement of the project is that i get images from
strangers via the web. so if anyone has any images they think critique
the GGW phenomena or are images of women (yourself included) pictured
in a way that shows intention by the pictured woman or depicts a woman
pictured in a way she would like herself reflected or is pictured for
herself rather than for viewers or capitalist society, i'd love it if
you could email me some images at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
