Most photographs take their cues from advertising, where the priority is high image content for an easy Gestalt reading.

If you get it out into the urban field it's going to be used or misused but it'll also probably provide a way of people acknowledging what the aesthetic is about because people have to confront it every day.

But I don't think of any particular viewer in mind other than myself.

Work out of your work. Don't work out of anybody else's work.
