I don't know - I'm scared of photographing people! ;-) Seriously, that might be part of the explanation; most (male) photographers feel more comfortable in an "intimate" situation with a woman than with a man, even though there is (or ought not to be) any compromising intimacy involved in photographing somebody. So... how do we overcome this taboo and become able to work as true artists no matter what the subject is? Or does this question make sense at all? - I'm not sure. Thomas
