I wrote this on MJ's blog:

When the book "Twelve" came in, my wife looked at the book cover somewhat
startled and asked "What is this?" I told her that yes, Sally Mann is
somewhat controversial but her photographs are excellent. As mother of two
children, she thought that Ms. Mann was definitely "naive" in her
interpretation.

In my photography, I often have opportunities to photograph young people
"cosplaying," sometimes with less covering than people would normally wear.
I have always avoided those photo-ops, to avoid the "creepy guy with
camera" reputation that some photographers get.
