![]() ![]() ![]() In the world of Six Feet Under, the drama was as complicated as that of real life. The show centered on the lives of a dysfunctional family that ran a funeral home, and was notable for being far less sentimental than the typical network dramas of the time, the soaps that often concluded with a hug or an all-too satisfactory resolution. These were shows that benefitted from the ease of catchup viewings afforded by new technologies like DVRs and DVDs. Premiering in mid-2001, it came along just as the concept of "prestige television" was gaining momentum. Six Feet Under was a seminal piece of television drama. It's unlikely that, back in 2005, many of us would have recognised the song or artist, but as the moody piano begins and Sia breathily intones "Help, I have done it again", it immediately became clear that this was the perfect track for this moment. As she pulls away, Ted's mix kicks off with Sia's "Breathe Me". The next morning, Claire bids her family farewell and climbs into the car. Conferring the blame upon Ted and his chronic unhipness was the perfect way to deploy a stirring and possibly sappy piece of music whilst deflecting any potential criticism for a show that had, for five year, steadfastly avoided sappiness. Anyone familiar with TV tropes knew exactly what this was signalling: a big road trip montage, set to an evocative piece of music that the writers clearly seemed just a little embarrassed about. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In 2013, the WPP’s Photo of the Year winner, a dramatic news image shot by Paul Hansen, was accused of being excessively enhanced with Photoshop.Īs a result, the WPP has been much stricter about accepting digitally enhanced images, with the group rejecting 20% of entries in the recent contest because of “too much” photo manipulation. As I mentioned, the WPP contest is no stranger to controversy. An investigation by the WPP followed and the organization decided to yank Trolio’s award when it discovered one of the images in the photo story was actually not shot in Charleroi but in a neighboring town.Ĭase closed? Likely not. The mayor accused Trolio of staging some of the images to make his town look more bleak and depressed than it really was. Soon after the WPP announced it had given its Contemporary Issues award to Trolio, the photographer came under fire from the mayor of Charleroi, which is the Belgian town the photo story was based on. In the latest debacle involving the WPP contest – and there have been a few in recent years – the organization revoked the first-place prize it had given to Italian photographer Giovanni Trolio for a photo story he had submitted called “The Dark Heart of Europe.” If you followed the controversy over the World Press Photo (WPP) awards in March and care anything about the state of photojournalism these days, you might be a little sick to your stomach by now. ![]() ![]() ![]() Were gonna sing till we are free (Hey, till we are free) Our God will find us here in the rubble.
