Dan, If you think "it is not a terribly good photo” I won’t argue. If you don’t like a particular food, I would not argue either. But divorce and conservative societies? In the west, yup, you didn’t get divorced (like my parents should have), you just had your more or less secret and tolerated affairs and stuck it out in loveless marriages. And in the east? Well, let’s not get into a discussion about the IS and such in this context. I don’t think this picture is about sex, divorce and decency at all.

It seems were are in an age where just anything is supposed to be acceptable - I question if photographic nudity below the waist for a man, and below the neck for a woman is ever all the "artistic" - but there you are - I come from a conservative society where in my childhood 65+ years back a pregnant woman was rarely even seen clothed in public, and where, in all my years of schooling I never knew of even one set of classmates' parents being divorced.. > > > > > > > >> On 4 Dec 2014, at 04:01, List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students <photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> >> PHOTOFORUM Digest 6657 >> >> Topics covered in this issue include: >> >> From: Jan Faul <jan@xxxxxxxxxxx> >> Subject: Only in America >> To: List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students <photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >> >> >> http://news.artnet.com/in-brief/politicians-demand-museum-take-down-pornographic-photo-187366?utm_campaign=artnetnews&utm_source=120314daily&utm_medium=email >> >> >
