<p>What we think of ethics in the United States is different than that of Europe and Asia. In the United States people are uptight, rude, and disrespectful. If one is like this what do they have the right to judge the work of Jock Sturgis and others that do photography of nude young children? I do not find it unethical at all, because of what I have seen in Europe and Asia. People are open minded and free to express themselves. They are outgoing and nudism is everywhere. Here in the US people worry too much and are to uptight. One does not look at the picture and see the beauty of it. They look at it and see a nude child. Whoopy-do! We are all born nude, so what is wrong with being nude. The pictures are not sexual in anyway and display the beauty of a young body that glimmers in the late summer sun. I find the work beautiful, not unethical.</p>
Do you have a photographic ethic?
