Name a funny photograph.
Hmm.
Nothing?
Try to think of one without a dog or a sign. That’s even harder.
Joel-Peter Witkin, the artist, likes a joke about two cannibals eating a clown. One turns to the other and says “Does this taste funny to you?”
I’m struck by how little humor there is in photography with the exception of pictures of dogs and/or signs. Susan Lipper’s “Lucky” flirts with that idea.
If you don’t agree, try to think of one. OK, Henri Carrtier-Bresson and Elliott Erwitt can be funny, especially when they throw things off balance.
Good luck especially when you start to wonder if “Lucky” was a set up.
