Photography Project
April 28th, 2010
You’re now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
Stranger: My name is Leila and I’m working on an photography art project for college, a large photo that uses a composition of multiple tiny images… and I’m making it out of random Omegle guy’s penises. Would you like to contribute yours? I have 90 and I need about 5 more. You don’t have to show your face, just a photo of your penis. Can you please help?
You: shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure
Stranger: Is that a yes?
You: well… if it helps sience…
You: what kind of project is it?
Stranger: It’s a photography composition project.
You: for college?
Stranger: Yes
You: why???
Stranger: Why what?
You: the fuck why do you want to do it?
Stranger: Because I’m a photography major, and it’s for a grade?
You: Of fucking penises?
Stranger: It’s just an idea I had, a way to get random stranger pictures… and most guys on here want to show me their dicks anyhow
Stranger: May as well collect them for a grade!
You: hey, you get 2 pics if you tell me what for god fuckingfucks sake you want to do it of OTHER PEOPLES DICKS?
You: does it have a special meaning? is your prof gay? r u high?
Stranger: It’s part of the overall impression of the photo. I’m turning them into a theme of meeting strangers, it’ll be a photo of two people meeting in the park.
You: 2 pics!
Stranger: And you won’t be able to tell what the tiny photos are individually, they’ll be so small. It’s just coloration and lighing
You: dont you think it is a little profane and devoid of meaning?
Stranger: No?
You: why on earth not
Stranger: Because it isn’t.
Stranger: Look, if you don’t want to contribute, that’s fine… I thank you for your time :)
You: nono gimme your mail
Stranger: sugarleila@gmail.com
You: i want to definately talk to you sometime
Stranger: :)
You: ok, here it is, 3 pics if you tell me what justifies its profanity and emptines
You: you wanna criticise modern society pal?
Stranger: I don’t see the profanity and emptiness. It’s just an expression of sexuality that happens when you first meet a stranger, it’s all about first impression… do they look right, do they “do” it for you, etc.
You: its offending because its putting things in a light they are entierly not
Stranger: Photography is all about putting things in different light. :)
You: ah i dont mean that.
Stranger: Right, I know what you meant. :)
You: you offend people if you try to tell them things that are absolutely not the way you think, because you didnt spend enough time thinkering
You: ya know whatt i mean?
Stranger: Photography isn’t meant to offend, though.
Stranger: And neither is my photo.
You: IT WILL
Stranger: How
You: as i said. you try to over dramatize social phenomena which are of no real importance. it annois people.
Stranger: Well, everyone has different opinions of art and photography. Some see sadness, and others get offended. That’s jut the nature of art.
You: what??? its called …
You: let me look it up-…
Stranger: Hm?
Stranger: What is what called?
You: you know something that is kind of on the edge of “beauty” and the stuff that offends you. like doing paintings with your feces
You: you know what that guy did once
Stranger: Yes
You: you cant justify that stuff without having something realyreally important to say
You: if you ask me, this idea didnt come to your mind in more than a minute. not that its bad, but it floats into getting the viewer offended
Stranger: :(
You: and most of the people liking it are just art victims if you ask me
You: you know what i mean?
Stranger: Well I’m sorry my project isn’t up to your standards.
You: its not about that.
You: these are general standards not just those of me
Stranger: Look, are you able to contribute or not? If not, I need to go cause I have to find five more people who will.
You: ok but you couldnt defend your point
Stranger: My point is perfectly fine, you’re just subscribing higher standards onto it than it deserves
You: maybe because you didnt have one. or you did and i wasnt worth it
You: YOU GO TO COLLEGE!
Stranger: Yes, but I’m not making a gallery to showcase around Canada.
Stranger: It’s for a grade.
Stranger: Not to sell
You: i do as well. your project sounds fishi. my profs would look at me like some idiot if i would do
Stranger: Fine, whatever, send me one don’t send me one I don’t care. I’m just wasting my time with you.

I’m thinking she really just set her heart on working with penis pictures, and built the idea around it..
you should have censored the email of that girl, cause maybe some people find funny to keep sending penises photos to her email.
“You” was kinda of a douche in this one…
Agreed, “You” was sort of a douche here. A lot of the stuff said was completely uncalled for… Sure the idea for that project is a little weird but art really is about invoking emotion in people, whether it be negative or positive.
