heathcliff: I understand your point, but I think that presentation would be a bit too literal. We all know the photos fast food chains use, they’re already pretty embedded into our psyche.

BillR: -thanks for your comment. I’m not a vegetarian and I eat fast food from time to time. This isn’t just a critique of fast food–it’s meant (and is quite evident by the varied responses) to examine the complicated relationships we have to it, and to other “unhealthy” aspects of present day society. Some viewers are grossed out by these images, while others salivate. The project investigates fast food’s ability to be both seductive and repulsive.

Hi Josh,
Thanks for your feedback. It’s actually not moldy or rotting, but fresh from the restaurants. Not sure I get your comment about corpses, but I appreciate your feedback nonetheless.

Wonderful project. In the past decade, many photographers have made simmilar work but few have come close to the scope and diversity of Richard Ross’. My favorite image from the series is Rhino Field Museum, Chicago, Illinois, 1986.
