Jeff, Thanks for your responses. >>>> Over this time I have carefully examined my feelings and attitudes about the nude female as subject. Am I a deprived pervert? Am I making up for something denied in my life? Am I fulfilling a relationship or sexual void? No. I like photographing the nude in abandoned man-made locations. I respond positively to the classic nude figure in these settings. The images speak volumes to me and I hope they maintain some level of artistic value.<<<<< Wouldn't the male nude then fit into this rather easily? Take care, Gregory david Stempel FIREFRAMEi m a g i n g www.americanphotojournalist.com
