The topic was never NUDITY, it was photographing MINOR CHILDREN NUDE. Talk about apples and oranges.

@ Weis Markets, you do realise your last post proved us other people right more than it helped your case? I mean really, it again said sexual activities depicted. Drawn or otherwise. Seriously.

Jeff Pierson is a photographer whose action shots of hopped-up American autos laying waste to the asphalt at Alabama dragways have appeared in racing magazines and commercial advertisements.
Pierson's Web site boasted he has the "most wonderful wife in the world and two fantastic daughters." And until recently, he ran a business called Beautiful Super Models that charged $175 for portraits of aspiring models under 18.

In a federal indictment announced this week, the U.S. Department of Justice accused Pierson, 43, of being a child pornographer--even though even prosecutors acknowledge there's no evidence he has ever taken a single photograph of an unclothed minor.

Rather, they argue, his models struck poses that were illegally provocative. "The images charged are not legitimate child modeling, but rather lascivious poses one would expect to see in an adult magazine," Alice Martin, U.S. attorney for the northern district of Alabama, said in a statement.

Pierson's child pornography indictment arises out of an FBI and U.S. Postal Inspection Service investigation of so-called child modeling sites, which have been the subject of a series of critical congressional hearings and news reports in the last few years. An August article in The New York Times, for instance, called the modeling Web sites "the latest trend in child exploitation."

=====================================

Somebody needs to tell these prosecutors they are wrong. They should come to Model Mayhem where 20 something photographers can tell them the law. THESE GUYS WOULD BE OUT ON THE STREET IN MINUTES!

Well, I don't want to help derail this thread further, lets just say that the story in question has nothing to do with whatever has been babbled about the last couple pages. Yeah.

Oh, and I left a bunch of Easter Eggs in my posts for the hell of it. Have fun there.

My post was a direct comment to the post that said there is a big difference between photographing nude minors in a studio setting and what happened to the girls.


To which I posted, in the eyes of the law both are illegal. Which they are!



But I'm done!

That's my wasted time budget for the day.

No your mixing apples and oranges. If you cannot read your own writing, I'm not going to waste my time.

Photographing minors in some state of undress or nude, and child pornography are two entirely seperate things. You just blended them into the same mixing bowl as many others do who are ignorant of what the law is saying.

Stick around long enough, someone will come into this thread and give you a proper legal education.

I guess all those seminars,  and bazillion's  of exposures he's shot gives  him  some  weight around  here.....oh  wait...nope.

Please go back and read the law that you quoted earlier in this thread. Your statement here is not supported by that law.

You have successfully hijacked this thread with your continued efforts to prove something that is not true.

I know that it's easy to misunderstand such things and for one to think that they know something, we all do it at times, but when the error is pointed out to you it is wise to listen rather then continue to argue an untruth.

You are wrong about this, misinformed and misguided....please stop trying to defend your position.

If you continue to do so, I will consider it trolling and hijacking, both of which is against the rules.

Well photograph a nude minor child and take it down to the local police department and I think they will explain it to you better than I have been able to. Hey! Give it a shot!

That's a cheap shot, even for this forum. I clearly stated way too many times, my comments had nothing to do with how I feel about the issue and that I may or may not agree with the law, but the LAW sees photographing minors NUDE as an issue.

There is this really cool word, it is called "intent", learn it, understand it.
And no it wasn't a cheap shot, it was a statement of fact. You don't understand the difference between nude, explicit nude and touching. You make them all equal. Statements of fact are a bitch.

Like I said... it's a simple concept.

They will explain to you what I have been unable. If they tell you how wonderful the photo is and send you on your way. Well... give it a shot! They will make my point for me and clear things up for you.

With that... I'm done!  I have no NEED for this.
