    Help! I have pictures I can't show anybody!

    I've got two pictures that I'm REALLY proud of .... but at the same time I don't have anyplace to show them.

    They are ... um ... self portraits ... I've applied artistic effects so now they look like paintings ... and if they were of somebody else I'd be showing them off to the world. But, they're of me, so I can't bear to show them to anybody who will then later see me fully clothed. ;)

    I wish I could anonymously submit them to some art gallery across the country.


    Do you have any pix like that? And what do you do with them? I know some of you have been brave enough to post "intimate" shots here, but I'm not. Well, at least one of them I'd never show here. The other one ... well, if the right topic came up I might.

    I do!

    Same thing. If they were someone else, I'd show the world, but since they are not....



    See you tomorrow!

    I just want to make this clear: the pictures are not erotic. But the way I've treated them, I think they're art. Well, they're art the way I imagine art.

    Kelly.... the word ART only means B&W ;)

    You do know I was half joking, as I wouldn't post ANY KIND of full nudity of myself, ART or NOT.

    Mine aren't really either. Just not something I'd share.

    I like art, I appreciate it and I studied it in college. To an artist none of that nude stuff matter, so if it's art, artisically minded people wouldn't care about the breast or whatnot as breasts (or whatnot). I like to write also I learned quite early that a writer wites for an audience (just like a photographer takes photos for people to see.
    If your embarrased then keep them personal for you and a select few others in your life to see, but if you want to call it art you should do what artist do and display them.
