Porn or Art?

I didn't realise how much controversy these photos would cause. I have been told to take them down, asked whether it's legal, and told that I have a great body. There was such a range of comments, that I thought it only right to review the photos that were taken.


First of all; I didn't like these photos as much as the last ones I took, even though they didn't show anything. I took more time with the previous ones, and managed to edit them a bit on the camera. I used a different camera this time, and I was in a rush incase my family got home whilst I was lolling topless on the couch.


Second of all; my first comment said that they revealed too much of my identity. Perhaps the first photo did, so I took it down.


Third of all; I take these pictures because I want my page views to go up, I will admit to that. They also provide me with a sense of freedom, as no one knows who I am (bar two people), and so I can do whatever the hell I like, without a bunch of judging eyes on me, telling me that it's wrong to show off my body. Up yours to the person who told me I was chubby and need to lose some weight. I'm happy with my body, don't be jealous.

Fourth; if I am never to be famous, or glamourous of great, at least I have some sort of fame through the internet. Yes, it's probably morally wrong, but I frankly don't give a shit (see above).

For those of you who are concerned that these pictures are soft porn and that old men are going to sit by their computer and lust on me, thank you for your concern. I'd like to think that these photos are art; whether it's from a strategic hat or flash to mask my identity, or the ways in which I pose. I'm not putting them up there for you all to lust over. As I already said, I've put them up there to free myself.

I wrote the anonymous post near the end of the comments yesterday. It sure does sound like your head's in the right place, so don't sweat it.

Ignore the detractors.

This reminded me of a post I made on a forum I belong to. A fairly religious man sincerely was trying to get straight in his own mind whether he could appreciate pictures of I think it was boots or some such that he found stimulating without 'sinning'

I swear I blogged about it, but I can't find a post relevant so I dug up the post and made a new entry on my blog. The gist of which is that porn depends on the intent of the artist and (separately) on the intent of the user. Your hypothetical dirty old man (raises hand) might well use your pictures as pornography, but that isn't your intent, so on your end it's art.

Some of the others comments sound like they were made of genuine concern and I applaud you obvious thoughtful consideration of the part that you found valid for you and your rejection of the rest. This is an important life skill. So few can learn and grow from others opinions while still reserving the right to reject those that don't fit.

The comment that you're putting up these pictures as art is a little ridiculous. You're a sexually frustrated sixteen year old girl. I'm not criticizing you, we can all relate, but don't try to make it what it isn't. You're a little bit of an exhibitionist, you like that people are seeing you naked, and masking that as "I'm expressing myself" doesn't make it any less obvious.
