Response to (obvious?) missing category vs. political "correctness"

from Marcus J. Wilson (marcus.wilson@dtra.mil)
I cannot even begin to become as eloquent as Larry here, but I have to admit I like his logic. Glamour photography (or photographing women nude, is one of the main reasons I got into photography. I've always wanted to work for Playboy or Penthouse magazine. True, when I was younger there were other "ulterior motives" but now I'm older and more wiser, I now understand the concept of Artistic expression and viewing the unclothed human form as classic art. No matter how well intentioned, glamour photography will always have the stima of the "lowly prudient interests of men" because of uman nature. Notwihstanding, I think that a Glamour photography category is justified. Censorship, well the world being what it is, maybe some type is justified. My recommendation is that a panel of judges review submissions to the category to ensure that decency standards that do not infringe on artistic expression are maintained. To those who would feel that the standards are stifling, they would be invited to take their toys and go home.
