Yes, I have. And I don't get yours, or GeneralE's points. None of the images you are referring to would qualify as either explicit or sexual in nature. Your opinion may differ. |
I posted mine because I mostly agree with you on this topic -- I'm just opposed to supporting the "naked=porn" fallacy. |

Mostly Ditto... But then again was there not a thread some time ago... likely regarding another photographer (can't remember the name) with similar photos, and someone brought up the fact that the areas of the world that had a more 'liberal' view on sex and sexuality also had a lower instance of the same deviante behaviors that we (north americans) are trying to protect our children from.
Frankly I'm more on the fence then one might think... am I likely to post images of my son nude on the web? no... but is that more because it's wrong or because the part of the world I live in says it is? |

To me this amounts to child porn, period. Why? Because some sicko will use it as such and there's no way to control that. |
I understand where you are coming from but to play the other side of the argument for a sec..... The term "sicko" is subjective not objective... and besides, someone somewhere is getting off on ... oh I dunno... can openers or egg beaters or something... Do we ban all the create & barrel catalogues (kitchen shop for non US types)? I know that is a silly analagy but just going the other way for the flip side on the conversation....

| I am glad they have been taken down and seized. What I want to know is what kind of parent allows this and weere they even there for the shoot? It disgusts me. |

My opinion anyway, yours may vary and you're entitled to it, as I am mine. :) |
(Of course you are completely entitled to your opinion... and your point has its merits too.
BUT
the words in my post were NOT some made-up obfuscation, but a direct quote from my 55 year old neighbor.

(yikes - don't get me started! LOL)
