Well, Tan, 'T'ain't my thang, I guess. Not bad, but not particularly inspiring, to me at least. I have a feeling that the media I'm forced to view it on isn't helping much. Maybe if it were blowed up real big (as you suggest is your plan), so that it covers like an entire wall, it might move

It is sad that the straw-man arguments about child porn so often defer to these clearly innocent, not at all purient, pictures of children. But so often these argumetns are used as a continuing perjorative against any morality imposed on an "art" expression. Let us not take the side of defendin

Hi Tan, Yep, photography sure is subjective ... It could well be that you relate to the pics in a more motherly fashion, both as a mother to the child and as a "mother" to the photographs. I can certainly relate to that. As for the clid porn comment, don't take it too seriously. The climate h
