Smelly? Like Ping-Pong?

Art Critics Kick Up A Stink

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON



This photograph pays homage to a colleague of mine, who captured a memorable scene five years ago. It was mid-2002, and the NGV (National Gallery of Victoria) had just been given a makeover. A huge hoarding outside the Gallery said, ``Art like never before''. My colleague was walking past when he noticed someone had painted a prominent "F" in front of the word ``Art''.

  15. It would be difficult to photograph a fart, only the reaction. There is a funny series of photos of the Royal Family with Philip dropping one. I am impressed that the Canadian Tourism Authority hired an Aussie to take photographs of Canada. Onya.
