But that's quite all right. I'm not at all externally focused and I know that what others think (especially on the internet, on social networking sites) have absolutely no effect on what I choose to do or how I choose to do it. So you may ask, "why are you even on here?", and that is a good question. The reason I post what I do is a clear signal to the "universe" (for the lack of a better term) that this is what I have chosen to do. It's almost irrelevant what my viewers think of what I am doing because I'm not doing it for them. But that makes me sound unfriendly.. If you like it, good. If you don't like it, good. If you get rude or obnoxious or hypocritical, well that's annoying a little bit
So during this last 12 to 15 months I've been posting nude photos and my views have gone from 7000 to 110000. The categories don't let me choose just "nude", it makes me choose "artistic nude", but whether it's artistic or not in somebody's idea of categories does not matter even a little bit. But to some of my visitors that seems to be an issue. I also get a lot of "this is porn". And that is really what I'd like to talk about.
I think there is probably a clear indication when something is definitely porn; penetration, oral, erections, insertions, dildos, spread genitals. Also maybe the fact that they are on commercial pay sites promoting their content as porn, or even the free sites which exist to give samples that drive paying customers. DA is clearly not one of those places, so if the photos comply with DA policies against porn, it's a little more difficult (it seems for some) to distinguish what is what. I've seen others discuss this topic and some will point to examples and make references, but let me make this simple for you.
You live in a world of subjective reality. If you think it's porn, you are right. If you think it's art, you are right.
For example, when most of us look at cute little 5-year old children, we see kids; noisy dirty energetic lovable kids. When a pedophile looks at the same kids, he may see sexual objects. In his reality, he is right, regardless of what the rest of us think. And you won't convince him otherwise.
So, for you sexually frustrated porn searchers coming here filling up your spank-bank, please stop coming to my page with your penis in your hand and we can keep my page porn-free!!
Thank you
They chose to join Deviant Art. Casual viewers are NOT able to see nude deviations. You have to become a member. They chose to turn the adult filter off. When you first join the adult filter is ON. YOU have to turn it off. They are not accidentally seeing your nudes. They chose to. They made two choices that allow them to see nude photos, choices they can undo anytime they want. They chose to look at nudes. They need to accept their own heart and stop blaming other people.
Those of you that do not know art when you see it should mind your own business, just be simple-minded and live your life. Let the world pass you by, while the artistic minds deal with natural beauties in this world. Thank you for making this journal, regardless of those who cannot look at life in a different perspective. Yes, images of nudity can be controversial, but it does not have to be. I wonder, "How many people have a problem with Adam and Eve being brought into this world in all nudity?" That was just to make an example and point about this issue.
This is just my opinions on the subject, but I am glad there are people in this world who can admire what God has created. Thanks again!
It really does sadden me when narrow-minded people, feel that just because there is nudity, it must instantly be porn. If they stare at their girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband naked, does that mean that they are engaging in pornographic activity or that what they are seeing is pornographic in nature? They would more than likely disagree with that statement, and comment something like "It's just them naked, not porno", yet they then comment on nude pictures which are in no way pornographic at all, and label it as 'porn'. Contradiction, much?
It really is sad that people cannot differentiate between artistic and pornographic. I feel sorry for those who cannot see the beauty in things, and are driven by what society (&/or possibly religion) has deemed to be correct and true, because they lack the knowledge and understanding of finer things in life. If you think all nude shots are porn, then I really do feel sorry for you.
Plus, not only is that insulting to a photographer, but it's more than rude to a model. It takes a lot of guts to be able to take your clothes off and be photographed naked. As a woman, I lack those guts, so when I see women who -can- do it, it is a beautiful sight.
Script - Your work is amazing and I love to stare at it. Your models are beautiful and everything you all do together is artistic. Please keep going (:

It seems like vaginas have been haunting humanity in art for a long time. It is kind of incredible how people can keep the same way of thinking for centuries, and yet, consider themselves "evolved".
