Gretchen Ludwig - "Dressing Rooms:" A Flickr photographer Q&A
From the website: I have an aversion to marketing, advertising, and any other ploy to get me to buy products that are extraneous. This anti-advertising politic has developed even further to become anti-corporation. However, even though I am able to intellectualize all of this, at the same time, it's so easy to fall prey to a good ad. Underneath it all, I have a weakness, and it's for fashion. I try to attribute it to my visual arts upbringing and tell my friends it's because I'm attracted to exciting visual stimuli (and there are some very exciting things going on in fashion, artistically) but the fact of the matter is, I just love clothes. It seemed so perfect to exploit this weakness in my own convictions, and to then turn my consumerism into something more, something that, once photographed, becomes anti-consumer.
