Nudes
Now a shameless plug: my web site, at www.philovivero.com/~philov has a super-small set of static pages that emulate this. No
photographs of nudes, but a few image-manipulated drawings. No commercials, no credit cards. So maybe viewers would like to go
there just to check it out for a little bit.

Beautiful images, I must say. Specially gorgeous is the picture of Heather combing Alex on a bench: the picture looks so simple...

I would like congratulate you on your excellent photo layout well done!also the photo date rape really touch me.as a man I don't have
any idea what a woman feels after a brutal attack. This photo gave me a tiny insight how horrible rape is.I feel that it is time for society
to conditioning our young boys to be overly agresive and teach our sons how a man should treat others with kindness&respect.9years
ago my wife and daughter were killed by a drunkdriver leaving me alone to raise our son God I hope i did my best.

This site is simply superb, and of course the way tips are given on such type ofphotography is of great assistance for the amature
photographer. Furthermore thephotographs are not at all obscene, these are the real class photograph.

I was extremely impressed with the shot of the nude with back arched that you did as a junior at MIT. It is actually quite unusual, and
quite original in its feel. I agree that photography has little to do with the camera, and everything to do with what is in your head. Fine
work!

Phil, a picutre of your naked friend in an empty condo, or rather your narrative to it reminds me of an excerpt from one of Sergey
Dovlatov's books, who had some mind-boggling humor leaning towars absurd, like a real Russian writer should. You might want to
read his mamoirs of working for an Estonian newspaper in 1970s, where he describes a news photographer, who had cigarette-butts
floating in the developer, etc. Anyway, this is a piece I translated from memory. "In a museum of partisan warfare somewhere in
Russia... A large glass-clad display case with a human skull. The description reads - ""This is a skull of partisan Kowalczuk. Here are
personal belongings of partisan Kowalczuk - a nail which he used to attack the German officer and a bullet from his skull."" ...Partisan
Kowalczuk spared no expenses..." Love the site, BTW.

I am 18 and just getting into nude photography. I really enjoyed looking through the photos because they aren't just pictures of someone
nude, they are feelings, and personalities. I look for the more modern pictures to get my ideas from. I really think this will contribute a
lot to my personal study of black/white nudes. Thanks for a site like this.

i, myself, speaking as an artist of both audio and visual medium, can honestly appreciate some subtlety and simplicity, meaning that less
is more and does leave the imagination and emotional charges open to the experience that "tasteful nudism" brings to the table. by not
exposing everything to the naked eye, your senses are drawn more to the overall beauty and splendor of the subject rather than a blatant
statement of mere sexuality, as such. the human element in and of itself is dynamic and multi faceted like a cut diamond, and it is the
archetype for every perspective, that we perceive it as such.

well, I know within me that I see these things in a very different perspective. others would call it porno but looking at it even without
the paints on the body is per se an art. what is wrong with other prople is their pre-conditioned judgment once they see this thing. one
thing more, this concept of pre-judgment maybe to others would say it just came when they saw it but actually they were conditioned to
