the scene’s 2013 photo contest

Some of the photos from the Scene’s photo contest that I thought were noteworthy:

• Scott Simontacchi, “Eloise,” Bowling Avenue
• Holden Head, “Pasiphae,” East Nashville – I actually found this photograph to be grotesque, but that doesn’t make it a bad one. It did get me reading about Pasiphae. Pasiphae, in Greek mythology, was the daughter of Helios that fucked a bull and gave birth to the Minotaur, and represented the evils of feminine lust and excess. I am not 100% certain what the connection between her and this photograph is, but it got me thinking/reading, so there’s that.
