When am I pushing the artistic envelope, and when am I just freaking people the fark out? Who would need a photo of a girl just out of the shower with an octopus on her head?"
Then they came out from their darkrooms, wondered why they still have darkrooms when everything's digital now, said, "why ask why?" and went back to creating whacked out photos like these:
