    the whole male nipple vs. female nipple thing raises an interesting debate in itself - i.e. in that there seems to be a whole lot more interest in general in photographing the female form than the male form in photographic circles, what does that say about photography and those who choose to practice it?

    Many photographers choose to photograph beauty, be it landscapes, man made things, or people.

    As beauty goes, women are pretty high up there :)

    I posted a photo on Facebook earlier and within an hour I had three separate people (albeit all linked to the one US baptist church) telling me that THIS PHOTO (NSFW - it's got nipples in it) was pornographic.

    Which brought me to ask - what differentiates between the nude and pornography in photography? Obviously, the hardcore stuff is easy to spot - but where is the line drawn between the body and obscenity?

    I like a bit of edgier work, and don't feel that this work is either pornographic or obscene (it's a body, like), but Facebook aren't known for being a laugh in this instance. Where do you stand on this?
    I've reported quite a few photos in the past that I've found quite tasteless this I find as an image very pleasant to look at. My eyes weren't drawn to her nipples initially as they're not that noticeably.

    Keep up the good work.

    OT Hello everyone I'm still here:D

    i have only a hazy memory of posting this. i think the timestamp may help explain.
