> In Agrigento, site of an ancient Greek settlement in Sicily, we saw many examples of ancient pottery depicting domestic, religious and civic scenes from about 2400 years ago. Because of differences in attitudes towards display of the human body then vs. now, I was forced to add a modern fig-leaf to the version you can see here on flickr, lest I risk my entire body of work being deemed X-rated by some present-day Puritan.  For this, I apologize to both you and the ancient artist.

> However, all is not lost. You can see the original, un-bowdlerized versions of the above, and nine more Grecian urns here:

> Olympus E-M5 and Panasonic 40/1.7. We were rushed through the exhibit because we were behind schedule. Even so, I felt like the ancient artists were telling me something about life back then.  I hope you'll see it, too.
