Hi everybody:
I am a lawyer and amateur photographer from Chile. My site is http://fotosmontt.com
Lately I have tried to take nudity pictures. I think that i have improved in that area.
Many years ago i used to use a hosting company and use an html editor to create the galleries. From less than one year ago i am with smugmug.com to put my photos on line.
Regreately, in the lasts weeks i received a message to shut down some photos with some kind of nudity.
The messages betwen us are at the end of this message.
So, i need another site or service, like smugmug, shutterfly, pixogogo, where i put all my photos, including those attacked from sumgmug (i understand the north american moral is in the conservative directions since Bush election).
What are your advise?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mario,
Unfortunately, there seem to be more of your galleries that have unacceptable photos.
Please check through all of your galleries immediately and remove any that have bare breasts or otherwise might not be family safe.
If you are not sure about whether they might be family safe or not, they probably are not.
For instance, this gallery has some that are not acceptable:
http://fotosmontt.smugmug.com/gallery/261011/2/10482940
I have passworded that gallery and if necessary, we will password as many of your galleries as needed until they are family safe.
If you do not feel like you wish to remove those images, then we will be forced to cancel your account.
All the best,
Toni
MY ANSWER:
Hi>
I am in holidays and i am not in my town , so i read my mails every 3
days. In the url you told me, a sub category, there are many galleries
of simple portraits without any nudity at all. I think you are talking
about this special gallery
http://fotosmontt.smugmug.com/gallery/239856
Meanwhile i-ll put a password to this gallery.
If do you think there are other obscenes IMAGES , please tell me
exactly which are to remove, move or delete.
2. I read your policies before i open the account and i didnt find the
paragraph you are showing me now.
In fact, before i open the account i search into your clients accounts
and found many nude portraits.\
3./ My site is not phornography. Personaly I think that it is possible
the nudity in the art and at least for me not every nudity is obscene
4./ Please be patient with my situation because like i told you i am
in summer holidays and ill return to my home feb 13.
Bye

Hi Mario,
I am sorry but many of those galleries have images that are not Family Safe.
Your images are beautiful but we have to be very conservative about this so we don't offend anyone.
We are certainly not saying they are pornographic. We are just saying that they are not photos that everyone feels comfortable viewing. So here are some basic guidelines:
no frontal nudity (for women that means no bare breasts and no genitalia showing) (for men, no genitalia showing)
no poses that might be considered obscene or provocative
We sometimes have to make decisions on ones that are not so obvious but many of yours show women's bare breasts and many of our visitors do not feel those are appropriate for their children to see.
So please remove any photos to do not meet those general requirements and think about what small children maybe should not be viewing. Or even think about what a teenage boy might wish he could see but shouldn't!
All the best,
Toni
