This evocative image by Valia Fetisov reminded me, uncomfortably, of myself, and of my young nephew who inherited my vaguely spastic, "off on his own trip but still trying to engage" tendencies. 'Dinosaur' is rarely about shrill pronouncements of difference; it tries to privilege photographs that show our common bonds, rather than what divides and isolates us. T.W.
“You are not a dinosaur” began as a cooperative of 7 photographers. We took our name from a line in Bruce Holland Rogers’ (very) short story “Dinosaur” which asks how individuals cede (or don’t) to society’s expectations of becoming responsible grown-ups. This site allows us to bring to light artists, groups, and events from around the world that seem engaged in consonant thematic pursuits. T.W. 9.11.11 'You are not a dinosaur' on Flickr
