Question about Gallery subject material

[phototone]

I cannot find any guidelines in the FAQ relating to gallery subject material and I was wondering of artistic or abstract "nude" type images are permitted? The human body has been one of the great Themes throughout the history of photography, and I might like to upload a nice one from time to time if it would be OK. I would certainly use good taste. I know the difference between trash and gold.

I say, bring on the gold. We need a little something to keep Joe's blood flowing.

jorge has stated to keep in mind that this is a family site and to think about a child looking over a parent's shoulder while looking through the gallery.

that said, there are some nudes in some of the galleries and i don't think any have been removed.

maybe it's time for me to renew the 'nude self portrait' project...

Not to split hairs, but a family site for what country? Nudes are generally not a problem for family viewing in countries like Sweden, Germany, Norway...

 

[FrankS]

Did I mention that I am Canadian/German?

my assumption is that since jorge lives in oregon then the u.s.a. is his base and therefore the country in question.

Joe,
Please keep your nude Self-Portrait Tasteful and from the Neck Up.

OK, I get it, no "crotch" parts visible. I can do that easily.

if you guys are looking for nudie shots, sfaust over in the dslr sister site has some incredible (and tasteful) shots.. nobody has complained about those, even though a few are very revealing

 

[Honu-Hugger]

Hell...I'll look even if they are tasteful...

And Brett gets personally Autographed Copies of each.

I changed my mind 🙂

Well, now that we're all back, I have to say that many of those photos are very life-affirming.
