Hello,
A common misconception about nudists is that we're a bunch of body-loving, hippie artist-types. We are NOT. We come from all walks of life. And when I pass by a booth at a naturist gathering, not one nudist I shop with ever makes a comment that would lead me to believe that they are artists themselves.
Ask a nudist what they think of the contrast of light and dark in a nude photo. Ask them what they think of the composition, directional lines or juxtaposition of contrasting elements. They may not have much to say.
To a nudist, even a Jock Sturges print or a Sally Mann print is just a snapshot. That's why even nudists criticize fine art photographers who specialize in the nude. It's why Domai.com gets little or no respect on any nudist site besides this one.
Sorry, didn't mean to ramble.
