nudes

[P3D Elliott Swanson <elliott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought JohnB's post was excellent. There's an easy test for the
appropriateness of including a nude in a general photographic exhibition. 
Just answer this question, "Does the photo explore sexuality?" If yes,
give the exhibitor fair warning so s/he can decide whether or not to
include it (and the exhibitor needs to give the audience fair warning.) If
no is the answer to the sexuality question, don't worry about it-- it's
not your problem. Anyone who thinks a photo of someone without clothing is
automatically obscene or somehow questionable has a seriously warped value
system. Most of us will eventually be buried with clothes on, but we were
all born naked.
