Call me anal retentive, then. I've always despised the vaseline lens nude as
one of the lowest possible forms of one-handed photography. The fact the
subjects are kids just makes it even more exploitative, IMO.

It's just bad, totally commercial photography without an ounce of integrity
or style. I think that qualifies it as porn.

On the other hand, I love Sally Mann's "Intimate Family" (is that right?) as
the work of a genuinely talented photographer with a strongly felt subject.
