These photos are wonderful. Your photographer has eyes in her brain that see what the rest of us can't.

What makes GASHLYCRUMB TINIES so deliciously wonderful was it depicted CHILDREN. Photo essay good idea but, sadly, missed the mark.

fuck you your stupid emo art scool rendition of a classic book holds none of the charms that make the origonal so compelling you fucking cunt rags.I cant beleive you have had such a positive response, but I guess thats the nature of the net. You are not creative, edward gorey would kick you, you assholes, why did you use adults, i hate you, you pretencious fucks. primarily what your missing (not to say that there are any redeeming features) is charm, the origonal artworks were dark and depressing but ironically endeering and funny, yours are also depressing and ironically funny but so for the wrong reasons. you loose sit cake.
