I don't believe the act itself is sick or depraved, nor these images. The photos are interesting to me, because they are shown in such a non sexual way. for me, they are portraits of an intimate, inherently sexual act, but without the sex. Are they art - well no - after all they are colour - aren't all art images black and white (said firmly with tongue in cheek) Adrian > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Ted Grant > Sent: Thursday, 11 December 2003 0954 > To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: Re: [Leica] The fine line between art and pornography > > > B.
