[Leica] Art VS Pornography

[Mark Rabiner]

I always thought Boudoir was toilet and Boudoir photos would be people sitting on the toilet.
But then I turned 13.

    Boudoir photography is a better description for most of the photos than
    pornography but if you saw one today that was later removed - that was
    pornographic, as far as I'm concerned.  I'm not a prude and I admire
    beautifully done nude photography.  Not many of these are beautifully
    done.  There is no attention to lighting or composition at all.  Just -
    "here is a photo I managed to take of a naked woman"   I think the old guys
    are compensating ;-)
