Ursine is a new series of photos

Ursine is a new series of photos by Jill Greenberg, who previously did monkey portraiture and crying children, the latter of which provoked some controversy in the blogosphere.

I was going to shoot grizzly bears because they’re safer than bloggers.

A complete series of photos are available on Greenberg’s web site, sadly buried in an inscrutable Flash interface.

Jill Greenberg’s End Times photography project depicts

Jill Greenberg’s End Times photography project depicts young children who are quite upset; the photos themselves are somewhat upsetting to look at. The photos were made by snatching lollipops from their hands and mouths and shooting the resulting anguish. Inevitably, the cliche was too much for some and it started a classic blogosphere tempest in a teapot, with calls for Ms. Greenberg’s arrest for child abuse.
