Robert Mapplethorpe’s sexually explicit photographs of male nudes, produced between the late 1970s and his death in 1989, made him one of the most notorious photographers of the 1980s and a lightning rod for criticism by social and political conservatives. These highly stylized, neoclassically inspired works did not emerge fully formed, however. Mapplethorpe’s mature work was preceded by a largely unknown body of over 1,500 photographs made with Polaroid materials, which spans the six-year period from 1970 to 1975.
This exhibition brings together ninety of Mapplethorpe’s early Polaroids, many never exhibited and it ends this weekend. Prices of admission are $10 for adults and $6 for seniors. Children 13 years and younger, high school and college students with ID and UW staff get in free.

this makes me sick.
This comment is under the Mapplethorpe post but I'm thinking you were talking about the teacher assault. :)
It is horrible...and scary to think teachers have to deal with such stress!
