HI:

I’m from the United States and most of us have a difficult time seperating the difference between nudity and porn, BUT it depends on how the picture is composed, is the subject in a natural pose and scene. I think you should be able to see where I’m coming from.

“Titallating, sexual, erotic”. Doesn’t that pretty much cover most prime-time TV shows, soap operas, commercials, magazine ads, etc? I mean, Brittany Spears? Madonna? Aerosmith? Jeez, Elvis?

But a picture of a sad little girl? Nah, sorry. – Steve

I have found one of his pictures, and it seems to be that the picture is all about lighting, posture and so on. That is to say, it’s art.

related to your thoughts on this, here’s a short and lighter take on the perennial “but is it art” question: http://blixity.wordpress.com/2008/05/26/two-birds-in-a-cage/
the 27-second video from creature comforts is precious!

Good god, Jennie — did you have to show me that girl’s bare torso? I’ll probably become a pedophile now or — worse — a politician.

More seriously, Henson’s got some beautiful nudes there. Very poignant. Not sexual at all, in my humble opinion.

I just realised … Jennie, your works are PORNOGRAPHIC! I have pornography hanging on my lounge room walls! Good lord, last night in the shower I was putting on a real pornographic show (naked AND water!)
