I couldn't go on. The name Martin makes me think of a kind of maroon colour sock that men of a certain age wear under an open toed sandal. And I'm not even thinking of a Birckenstock here. I used to think Parr's work was alright - it made it's point bluntly and frequently. But then I went to a lecture he gave and I came out of there with the realisation that MARTIN PARR is a giant monomaniacal, airmile snorting ego tripping bellower of a man. In MARTIN PARR's world. We just live in it. Jesus, how many times do we get the names”Martin” or “Martin Parr” just on the homepage alone? I couldn’t go on.
