There's such a fine line between
pornography and erotic photography. I like to think of them kind of like identical twins, with erotic photography being Tabatha and pornography being Jenny. Jenny and Tabatha both have similar genes, they pretty much look the same but their personalities are completely different. If I was to have a dinner party, I'd have no problem inviting Tabatha because she's attractive, she's intelligent and she's actually quite charming... people seem to like spending time with her. Jenny on the other hand, whilst being quite appealing in her own way, is a little less refined, has a bit of a gutter mouth and to be honest, an obvious hygiene problem.
Most people don't mind bumping into Jenny from time to time. Even if it is in a shady lane way, dodgy motel or the trailer of a 36 wheeler on the side of a highway. Jenny and her friends prefer it that way. Jenny love's the internet, where as Tabatha would prefer to be entertained by art galleries or books. Books like this 608-page volume from Taschen,
The New Erotic Photography which features the steamy work of 82 photographers from 14 countries including
Terry Richardson,
Alethea Austin, Bruno Bisang (top-left), Tony Stamolis (top-right)and
Yasuji Watanabe. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to meet Jenny for a coffee.
