I was away all weekend, and missed what all the hoopla is about. I feel the need to toss my two pennies at this thread though, so here goes. If you do not like something, stop looking at it and do something else. If you feel the need to chime in, make it constructive and never denigrate or disparage another persons work, it is theirs, NOT YOURS. Personally, I stopped shooting nudes when I stopped shooting portraits, I do not like photographing people (I shot portraits for a living so leave me alone), I usually don't see where it serves any purpose, but occasionally someone here pops one in that is incredibly stunning (so very rare). I see the genre as tired and over done, most poses so awkward and just plain stale, that it's sad. However, the photographer shot what he saw, shared it with the community, and as such deserves to keep it displayed just like anyone else does. We do live in a warped society, where violence is embraced, and natural sexuality is frowned upon. Women cannot even feed their own babies discretely in public without being scorned and ridiculed for such a beautiful natural act.
