Jesus Christ, woman, get some self respect; and if you can't do that, at least try being professional. Your indiscriminate fangirl obsequiousness not only undermines any credibility you may have as a critic, it's downright embarrassing.

I have no idea what @1 is talking about, but I like this photo - it's spacious.

I'd swear I've stood in this exact spot before, but that's because so much of the West looks like this. There's so much open space, so much nothingness, and there are skies that have clouds that are unlike those elsewhere. All of my photos of the west come out blue, tan, and green -- blue skies, tan gravel and dead grass, and sometimes green (except early spring and late fall). This is about as green as it ever gets.

@1: Perhaps you misunderstand the Genius Awards. They're about love.

On the other hand, if you somehow yearn for criticism of Jeffry Mitchell, I wrote this piece not two months ago: http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/in-ar….
