Fictional photos are quite the thing right now on the American art photography market, Gregory Crewdson's elaborately staged street scenes being an obvious example. His big-production photographs sell for big money but ironically, while his photographs take on the look of a movie frame, I really like the work of this Turkish film director who constructs his photographs in the widescreen shape of his movies. Intensely lyrical, I love 'em.
Forget the political divide, today's crucial choice is whether MySpace or Facebook. Especially when it comes to sharing snaps.
