Dear runner,

Taking a picture of a nude thirteen year old girl in an artistic manner is not child porn. The human body at any age can be a subject for art.

Wowsers may label art porn. Such attitudes are the product of their evil and perverted minds that see ugliness where others see beauty.

Dear Ludwig,

Thank You for the link. Art, like other things in life,
may be interpreted in very different ways. We all tend to
see things from a viewpoint of subjectivity. What's Art to
one - may be "rubbish," to someone else. It's all a question
of some measure of bias - our tendency often unconscious,
to interpret things according to our values, background,
training, prior experiences et cetera.

The young artist certainly is talented and is presenting us
with a unique experience - it's entertaining - no question
about that - it's fairly easy to understand and appreciation
takes very little effort. Does it involve our emotions as
a deeper level? - does it give us a spiritually enriching
experience? Again that's a question of subjectivity.

I have to agree with you Ludwig, I loved the pictures! I am impressed. Its funny how art can grab us at times. Last night I was watching Q&A and at the end of it, Karie Noonan sang. By the end of the song, I was just blown away by the voice and by the emotion that she could express with that voice. It was the first time that I'd heard her sing.

Runner, you are a worry, you really are. The mind works by neural connections and it seems that in yours, everything leads back to porn! You really have this thing about porn...

Yea I am sure artist never lust.

david f,

Some people choose to literally worship the image of a man being tortured to death yet see the image of a naked child as obscene by attaching their own connotations and prejudices to both.

Some also see themselves as a hammer and so everything else must be a nail.

Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder but they need to be looking for it with eyes and minds that are open before they can see it.

Dear runner,

If an artist is normal he sometimes lusts. There is nothing wrong in lust. It's a normal human reaction to an appropriate stimulus.

However, I have seen Henson's pictures in the Brisbane Gallery of Modern Art, and they were beautiful.

I repeat. It takes a perverted and evil mind to equate those pictures with porn.

I don't know that you have done so. You may just be uncritically repeating some wowser's judgment. Look at the pictures yourself.
