I dont believe showing <strong>of</strong>f body parts, especially private parts, for viewing to the public is a form <strong>of</strong> art. In fact i think its embarassing.<br />

To me this form <strong>of</strong> activity could lead to a more negative society, a society without rules...maybe a society without dignity. We cant<br />

expect everybody to view these pictures as a form <strong>of</strong> art? Maybe these form <strong>of</strong> art should be constrain within its community and not to<br />

the open public especially where places that is accessible to the underage. This is just a comment. No intention whatsoever to <strong>of</strong>fend<br />

anybody. Thank you.<br />

I think when it comes to decieding whether or not something should be considered ART or PORN, You must analyze your feelings.<br />

Does this photo that your looking at have focus, balance, and point <strong>of</strong> impact? or does it make you feel like you just took your viagra? If<br />

its's the later, then YOU individually have to deciede whether or not its pornography. I observed all the photo's posted. My personal<br />

feelings say its ART. Not because its in black and white. Not because there seems to be a layout in a respectable nude position, But<br />

because I FEEL its art. Thats what art is.....FEELINGS!<br />

An impressive site, but some words <strong>of</strong> criticism… first suggestion, perhaps you should use more serious models, or else have the<br />

models perform more serious acts and expressions. I find it very hard to respect a nude photograph <strong>of</strong> a person smiling or jumping when<br />

put in such a serious atmosphere as a white drop with diffused lighting, such as with the photos you posted <strong>of</strong> the female nude in motion<br />

or “The Three Graces.” Secondly, try bringing your subjects out <strong>of</strong> the studio. I enjoyed the photograph <strong>of</strong> the model in the bare condo<br />

because it gave the subject ground, reality and atmosphere (although your intended message was hard to accept: hardwood floors and<br />

clean white walls are not a typical sign <strong>of</strong> poverty!). Thirdly, and probably most importantly, research the zone system; try adding some<br />

contrast. Many <strong>of</strong> your photographs were so grey they bored me, and the only ones I actually stopped to view were the color photos and<br />

the one <strong>of</strong> woman’s back (torso wrapped in a towel, with a black backdrop). That one was exceptional; very beautiful. But in order to<br />
