Is pixelating appropriate for inappropriate photos
Consider the image ... Consider that it is new year's eve and I don't to to the party for another two hours so I am bored. It gave me time think (which is always dangerous). This image was posted by none other than John Jebbia to another thread, taken by a model and, in his words "sanitized" for public consumption. Now I understand the need to protect our innocense when dealing with such a sensitive subject, (when such a sensitive area is exposed to the sun), but I have a question. When posting an inappropriate photo, it is appropriate to pixealate it to bring it into the norms of the community. I am wondering if it is an front to the artistic statement of the model who shot the image of the photographer. Since we have had threads on the importance of shooting minors in the nude so that we can maintain our artistic integrity, are we not doing a disservice to the copyright holder of this image by posting a derivative work without evidence of her consent? While I realize that the derrier is that of the photographer, it was in fact the model who took the shot. So much effort is expended in these forums about the importance of copyright and the rights of the holder that I wonder if the posting of the image is even legal. I don't see where Aimee has consented to the modification, (although displaying one's toushee for editorial purposes is probably considered "fair use"). So while I support the right of Mr. Jebbia to amend the image to suit his sensibilities, I think as a community, we should support the rights of the model (who in this case was the photographer) to ensure the artistic integrity of her work! Just my thoughts. Thank God it is almost party time. Dec 31 05 09:55 pm Link Holy Crap! Wait a second.. So woman ass: appropriate, man ass: inappropriate or just John Jebbia ass: inapropriate DOUBLE STANDARD! Dec 31 05 09:55 pm Link I dunno but I think someone just proved what happens when hair falls out of the head during balding. It just transplants -chuckle- Dec 31 05 09:56 pm Link Ass is okay...it is b(o)(o)ies we have to worry about. Damn, hasn't being a GWC taught you ANYTHING? And if that is indeed John Jebbia, where is the sagginess I have learned to expect from photographers? I postulate he cannot be a real photographer because his ass, even pixelated, is too small.

Dec 31 05 10:01 pm Link I had shot with that particular model over 100 times and she encouraged me to do that. So it's not quite as inapropriate as it may appear. Funny side note to that shot.. That was done in Rocky Point, Mexico. And the sand dune location we had to take ATV's to get to.. About 15 miles out of the main town. Well, we each had our own ATV and she decided it would be funny to take my clothes and leave. I couldn't exactly chase after her, afterall I had all of my camera gear to pack up. Make a long story short.. John Jebbia rode all the way back to the hotel buck naked with nothing more than the helmet. And Gringos go to jail if they ATV with no helmet. So, 15 miles.. over sand dunes, down a main highway, through city streets. Buck naked with nothing but the helmet on my head!

Dec 31 05 10:11 pm Link Dec 31 05 10:11 pm Link Well, the fact that hundreds of Mexicans had to witness my naked ATV riding ass makes it on a scale of 1-10 a 4.

Dec 31 05 10:12 pm Link John Jebbia wrote: On the GWC Universal Index, a "4" falls into the category of limited perversion which is acceptable for a mainstream photographer and actually categorizes you as totally NORMAL. Darned, I was hoping you were a closet pervert. Dec 31 05 10:14 pm Link Lapis wrote: Not dirty enough, I like how you think,lol. And I do think a light just clicked on here,lol. Anyway, I am trying to finish my website for its 1/1 official opening. This is why I may not see all here right now,lol.

I'm getting offers from models who wanna pay ME! Dec 31 05 10:51 pm Link I do love the unnecessary censorship skit. Is it Jimmy Kimmel or Conan?

You expect not less than your regular daily rate of $23.75 but you do expect copies of all images from the shoot, both of them. Dec 31 05 10:58 pm Link John Jebbia wrote: No, not really. Gotta do better than that. Dec 31 05 11:03 pm Link Is this the same thing as sending unsolicited e-mails of inapropriate images to unsuspecting models? Or do we make an exception in this case since I have been drinking? Dec 31 05 11:03 pm Link John Jebbia wrote: I don't know but I just sent a copy to Dave Hall. We'll get his view.
