I can’t believe a gallery actually let him put pictures like that up! Wow!

I completely disagree with the censorship thing. This is just wrong children could easily see this and think that it’s okay for someone to take naked pictures of them.

It’s just not right.

Interesting topic… How many people take pics of their naked kids doing silly stuff though? What if you show the pictures on a slideshow to your friends? Does audience have an effect on how the pictures are percieved? What exactly upsets people about naked children? Is it the manner in which they are posed? If it’s dark and serious does that make it worse than if it’s happy, light and bubbly? Is it the issue of consent? That would probably be an issue with me. If a child cannot legally give consent, then that means the parents give it and who knows if the parents forced their children to do this kind of thing, which could have long lasting psychological effects. Even if the children wanted to have their pictures taken in the nude, does that mean it’s okay? I would venture to say no. And I sort of agree with your pedophile comment, although I think that looking at just about any pictures of children would be a pedophile’s fantasy. It just makes me wonder where the line should be drawn I suppose.
