Every year a lot of American sports TV seem to rave about the Sports Illustrated (SI) Swimsuit Edition. Well this year I have taken the opportunity to but a copy and well to say I am underwhelmed is an understatement. The women are uniformly beautiful and wholesome and the photography is perfectly competent. However, the combination of the two creates something that is really uninteresting. In an age of all access Internet photography this whole concept seems so 1950's. This is a shame as the place to go to see first class sports photography. It also has been an innovator over the years and yet their idea of what make interesting and dare I say it sexy beautiful photography is stuck so far in the past. I have no idea why this.
