Ryan McGinley's new exhibit of cave photographs, some of which we featured in our Photo Issue, opens at Alison Jacques Gallery in London tonight and it's already getting tons of accolades. People keep talking about the gorgeous colors and the masterly compositions, referencing Tom Sawyer's "spirit of adventure" and Journey to the Center of the Earth, sprinkling biblical Jonah and the Whale references here and there, but what's really baffling is that no one is stating the obvious: These are all pictures of vaginas. I mean, they're caves. With all those surreal colors, they're practically Georgia O'Keefe paintings. You don't have to be a pervert, or Freud, or both, to see it.
