Stop being so miserable.

Of course, the reason people do shoots of children is well documented.

One could even go so far as to suggest that any straight male photographer who didn't find female nudes sexually gratifying might like to consider a course of oysters, or perhaps his actual commitment to describing himself as straight.

Sorry yes I should have qualified that as the straight male photographers. Of course, how deep the self-deception lies depends on the individual. Personally, I'm happy to admit that I photograph stuff as an extension of my ego, in an effort to gain attention, notoriety, and to persuade...

Let's just cut to the quick and get rid of the pretentious posturing: the reason people photograph nudes is for sexual gratification. The "artistic" justification is just hyperbole used in order to get the model nekkid, and to try and persuade themselves and others that it's somehow more...

While I will own that peeing on people's cornflakes can be fun, it does tend to make one look like a bitter old queen. Cheer up - it's nearly Christmas.

Well, kids, I'm set. I'm sorry, Yardbent - I didn't see your ad until afterwards. Having been through all the cr@p with CC, I'm pretty keen on being able to touch stuff before I buy it at the moment. It took me ages to internet shop because of the fear of exactly that happening, and it's set me...
