Wow I'm glad I kept reading to the end of these comments to see that $lolly actually apologized and put your image back up!! Way to go!

One thing I want to know though, is why DA spends so much time hunting down pictures that explore the boundary between art and sexuality, but do so little to stop the people who make vicious and hateful comments. I've just run across so many comments like "whore" and " you're disgusting", which in my mind is FAR more damaging than any pictures I've seen here. I already know of one incredible photographer who left because DA administrators made no reply and took no action against the people leaving comments like that about her models, and she couldn't take it anymore. That seems like it should be a far more serious issue for a site like this than hunting down erotic art.

I'd describe the line between porn and art as a very fine, flexible, and permeable membrane. And I'm not saying I have a problem with either side of the line, but since running across your work on here, I've always considered you to be well on the artful side of things.

It's a shame that we have so many people (at least in the midwest US) who are flat out afraid of the human body and sex, but I know you have a ton of fans, and I'm glad you keep going!

Everyone's a critic these days.

My apologies for this. We are reviewing our policies in regards to images like this since well, they are awful and outdated. I have put the image back up again.

I'm seing your art... can you see mine?[link]

Everything is censored these days, it disgusts me to tell you the truth. I mean in music, they have even began censoring random words, not just swear words!!!! It pisses me off.

If you like Music you should come look at my ! It's full of Concert/Music Photography

nah, you really can't win when it comes to censorship.

So you might as well post your work without worrying about potential bans and complaints.

show it all and fuck the rest.

I have had a few taken down too.
