it’s called ethics
and it seems the talented Jill Greenberg did not have any when it came to the job of photographing John McCain for cover of The Atlantic.
I am all for Greenberg having political views in her artwork but she was hired for a commercial job to fulfill a non-partisan photo-shoot. I respect her work and her guts but this current news adds fuel to the fire of the media war between Republicans and Democrats. She is painting McCain as a victim and that is one thing we definitely do not need right now. What we need as a country is to wake up from these tasteless acts, from McCain’s ads to Greenberg’s defacing. We don’t need these radical acts of moronic behavior. Have a little class, please.
edit: Looks like Greenberg took down her website for the time being.
