My self-portraits...

[xiphoid]

I'm not even posting this to advertise my pictures...

I want you to look at the comment from "Kevin."

I thought it was amusing.

Thanks, Kevin.

Tell me what you think.

It's sad that someone can be so self righteous and so inarticulate. He really made a fool out of himself. I am surprised you paid any attention to it. For someone who holds himself out as an authority on art, he has nothing to show but his incomprehensible rants.

My first thought when I saw your work was that it took balls to do what you did. Obviously we can tell that it doesn’t.

Keep up the good work and post more like this real soon before you become a grease spot on the road. (Yes, I saw your other self-portraitures while driving)

Yeah, that's the thing. Even if my pictures stink, I'm putting myself out there. I'm actually quite a shy person, so it means something to me.

I'm also a genuinely nice person, so when people come at me like that, it tends to hurt initially, because I just don't think I deserve it.

Not to mention he's technically wrong, too - even in the nude pictures (of which there are only a few, regardless of what dude says), it's not gratuitous, and in most of them there isn't even explicit nudity.

People, huh?

Regardless of what Kevin says I am glad to see you being brave enough to take beautiful self portraits and post them for the world to see. It think that takes lots of self confidence and is a fantastic trait to have. I find it hard even to post a self portrait in any fashon.

Thanks for your bravery and your beauty. I think your work is outstanding!

Kevin and his kind would have us roll back the clock to the 1950's. The Ozzie and Harriet days when air was clean and sex was dirty.

They believe they are the moral center of the universe and what lies outside their moral code is considered wrong. In their dictionary different equals wrong.

Your work is pretty edgy. It is bound to make some people uncomfortable. While there is a lot of nude photography in Pbase, most are nameless models. You have put a name to the body of work.

Ok, now I am going to get a little parental here (yes, the 54 after BobT means something) Exactly how fast were you driving when you took those shots?

Haha - for the car one with me in it, it was just sitting on the dash. For the one in the mirror, I wasn't even really looking at the camera - hehe, don't worry guys - I won't do it again! I promise.

Great self portraits. Keep yourself beautiful and in shape. As for Kevin: you would not like to be it totally without controversy, right?

Cheers
