An interesting lesson today ...
As ishotkatemoss continues our daily instagram image posts we
are constantly challenged by the need to crop images square, figure out how to
reach new people, identify like-minded artistic minds and continue the
conversation behind enemy lines.
In other words, we struggle with the apparent contradiction
of asking people to view images in a slower and more considered approach by
posting photographs on the largest image distributor, owned by Facebook, and
utilized by the vast majority in a split second. Furthermore, we are now
partaking in the affirmation complex of simply pressing 'like' ...
For all of the struggle however, we continue to find new
collaborators for our work, and allow people who otherwise would not have
learned of ishotkatemoss, the opportunity
to see the collage and this blog.
So it was with great consternation and finally humor that
after posting the following image and text on instagram today, we found that
the post had been publicly banned:
In the lead up to Valentine's Day and the anniversary of the
remarkable submission from Keren Moscovitch, we are revisiting some
ishotkatemoss observed playboy pics. Let's start with magazine racks from
"A rolling photographer gathers moss" #ishotkatemoss #katemoss #valentines
#romantic #playboy #bunny #magazine #rack #observe #slowdown #shoot #submit
Why? Well after a great deal of experimentation (honestly,
we felt like Benedict Cumberbatch in The Imitation Game), it turns out that if
you use the hashtag "#rack" your post is flagged for no public
distribution ...
Now anyone who has been on instagram I am sure has seen
plenty of breasts, including kates! But from our minimal, non-scientific
research we have found that the terms "breast", "breasts",
"boob" and "knockers" are also banned, in addition to
"rack" (however, just for your reference, you can legally use
"bust", "chest, "bosom", "funbags", "mammary",
"mammaryglands" and "bazooms"). There seems to be a reasonable
amount of research on-line about this, we only looked it up for the interesting
articles, we promise.
So ultimately, all we want to know from Playboy, Instagram
and all who censor us is "Where will we put our magazines?"

Observe. Slow Down. Shoot. Submit.
