<p>Now i'm confused about Michael C debate. Wasnt'it about the sexual issues on a model's photography? And the question is about what the photographer thinks, or the public? Where the judgement issues lies? On the creator or the observer perspective? I can't say much about what the creator thinks, since it's to much subjective, but in terms of public judgments, i think there's no doubt that, like i wrote before, the boundaries between Aesthetic and sexual appeal are very thin, and an atractive model always atracts public interest (just check how often a naked model or in lingerie are more seen then a mountain or a pet photo). And some mediocre creators make a "good" (abusive) use of that, wich i think is a bad use of photo art (unless of course they just do it for commercial purposes). Not all the photos are Art, like not all the paintings are Art.</p>

<p>I subscribe what Rebecca and Vince wrote.</p>

<p>I dont think the merit lies on the subject of a camera, but the way you(we) see it. And the boundaries between Aesthetic and sexual appeal are very confusing to some people. Just take a look at the general preferences when it regards the picture they look and vote... in wich category do you think they go to?</p>
