What would your Mother think of your photos???
Would you show you Mom or Dad ALL your photo image??? Just wondering how proud you are of you work. M Jan 01 06 10:04 am Link My mother thinks the models should have more clothes on. I think we did this thread not to far back. -Don Jan 01 06 10:05 am Link D. Brian Nelson wrote: So....I missed it....lets do it again!!!! Jan 01 06 10:07 am Link Are you kidding? They'd take away my allowance for a month!! Jan 01 06 10:07 am Link They love them, so does Grandma! Jan 01 06 10:17 am Link They get the Mother Seal of Approval. If I can't show any of them to her, they don't get posted. Jan 01 06 10:29 am Link My mom, my sisters and brothers, my friends, strangers I just met, all get to see them. I need all the exposure I can get. Jan 01 06 10:35 am Link My grandparents didn't like my pictures as a model or as a photographer. More clothes, more clothes, more clothes! It's not like I was naked, sheesh. Bikinis/lingerie is where I draw the line. I only show them my commercial stuff now.  Jan 01 06 10:36 am Link My mom has seen pretty much all my work, even my nude self portraits. I think that's fine. I hesitate to show her the "darker" stuff, for fear she'd think i was feeling tortured or something. I'm not sure she understands that it's just an aesthetic, not a reflection of my mental state. Jan 01 06 11:07 am Link When I proudly showed my ancient mother the accordion book of alt-process images I'd made as my final project (http://www.dgbn.com/mica_alt04/) for an alternative process course, she pronounced them to be pornography and slammed the book shut. I now only share my landscape work with her. Jan 01 06 11:15 am Link The only time I've ever known my parents have been proud of me for something I've done, is when they ask me to bring my book to show their sisters and brothers (my aunts and uncles). They see most of my images and love them. Jan 01 06 11:18 am Link She'd probably think they were silly, which is what I'm actually most afraid of. My mother has a talent for embarrasing me in public. Jan 01 06 11:23 am Link on some level they could appreciate them. on the other level theyd think "she was naked in front of the photog with her hands on her breasts!!!!!!!!" Jan 01 06 11:29 am Link MY mom and Dad are kind of "old fashioned". They would rather not see their "first born, nude" My sisters love them. Jan 01 06 11:41 am Link If my mother liked my model photos, I'd know I was doing something way wrong! Jan 01 06 11:44 am Link My parents are both dead, but I know they would have no problems with them. My mom was very liberal in her thoughts on just about everything and my dad just wouldn't care. My mom would actually think they are cool. Jan 01 06 11:55 am Link My parents both see nudity as "evil", so there's no way I'd show them my photos. Jan 01 06 11:55 am Link My mama's reply to my images, and why I participate in creating them was, "You have the courage of your convictions, baby girl. I'm proud of you." Every time she gets into a conversation about self-acceptance, body size, etc she starts scribbling my URL down to show people. It's pretty cute. The papa? I just keep my fingers crossed that he remains internet-challenged and never ever sees them. He's old school, he would never understand. Jan 01 06 12:05 pm Link My photography is kind of like going on a honeymoon -- my mom gets the general idea but doesn't want the details. Jan 01 06 12:23 pm Link my mom and dad 5 brothers and my 1 sister are some of my best critic's i love when they give me input my mom and dad have see all my work and when they have a opinion about some thing i Lassen in fact my dad has a couple of the mags that i have been published in on his coffee table at his house and they both pass out my web site to people and are both proud of what i do Jan 01 06 12:37 pm Link Coral Weber wrote: ditto!

Never turn your nose up at Bingo players, they have more connections than the telephone company. LOL Jan 01 06 12:45 pm Link R. Olson (RO) wrote: *laughs* Jan 01 06 12:49 pm Link I don't think I would care much what they thought. I left that behind long ago. More worried what my wife thinks my shots. Jan 01 06 01:06 pm Link I don't think my parents really understand my work, but then again, they're not alone in that response. Jan 01 06 01:57 pm Link They have only seen the PG rated pictures. Jan 01 06 01:59 pm Link I don't do anything my mother wouldn't approve of, or that I wouldn't want my kids to see. I don't do nudes, and won't do anything that isn't tasteful, so there's absolutely no problem. Mum is incredibly supportive. In fact, she's always asking for printed copies of my pictures. It's almost embarrasing to walk into her apartment. She has pictures up everywhere! When she saw my recent bikini pictures, her response was... three kids... and you still look like that? lol. But, I think she's just biased. ;-) Jan 01 06 02:01 pm Link I worry more about what my wife and kids think than my parents. My parents know women stop at my home to have photos taken. My mom is not sure what to think but doesn't ask much. I don't show my dad because he likes to make dirty jokes out of anything. My wife and kids are supportive. They are just relieved that someone else is asked to get in front of the camera when I get a new idea... Jan 01 06 06:36 pm Link Mom, being a Pentacostal Christian has often sacrasticly said to me " my my, Im sure you enjoyed the shoot that day, didn`t you son." EDIT: I forgot though, she does love my fine art stuff. Speaking of which, I have to print a few things for her this week as requested. Jan 01 06 06:39 pm Link My parents have made their house available to me provided there are no nudes. This is their front door and one of their chairs:  My mom loves this picture and shows it off for me. They are open-minded conservative Christians who are registered Democrats whose voted Republican since at least Reagan. ha!! Jan 01 06 06:40 pm Link It's like my old man used to say, "Your models are overexposed and underdeveloped". He knew his photography! Jan 01 06 06:42 pm Link Dogbone Alt-Process wrote: I love them. To me they are true to the meaning of the word photography, writing with light. Jan 01 06 06:42 pm Link Model Sarah wrote: They were blind folded when you were born and as they changed your diapers? Jan 01 06 06:43 pm Link My parents really enjoy my work. It's part of the reason I keep it tasteful. Jan 01 06 07:00 pm Link My mom, my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins got to see shots of nearly all my female friends naked when I was in college...never flinched. Jan 01 06 07:03 pm Link I was just showing my dad some of the sites I work for, and my mom walked in and told me not to show him that. They've seen my work and support me. My wife also looks through all my pics and likes to comment on the clothes. Mike Jan 01 06 07:21 pm Link ROTFL...OOOOOOOO y'all thanks for the laugh. It is SO nice to know that although we ARE grown adults we are still for the most part TERRIFIED of displeasing our parents...and our grandparents. My parents and brother and sisters have always been supportive and love my photo work. Now that is not to say some of the results of designers/photographers/film shoots "creative ideas" and "creative outcomes" have not made them blink, if not bite their tongues to still the laughter. Now my wonderfully mannered Southern lady to the fingertips grandmother thinks if a young lady leaves her bedroom without a floor-length robe and slippers on in the early morning hours...or leaves the house without being completely and perfectly dressed and my face on and my hair styled... I am horror of horrors considered...indecently naked... ((grinning)) Jan 02 06 12:03 am Link my mom tells everyone she can my dad says "thats my boyyyyyy" my stepmom says "shoot any smart models lately?" my sister says nothing my brother tells all his buds i even took him on 3 shoots as well as an assistant.... he said " i will never doubt you again ....can i ask her for her number? " (he did and they went out on a date)....{ they both were 17 at the time} my guy friends ask which have i dated my guy friends wives they try not to talk about it ......lol Jan 02 06 12:10 am Link My parents are dead,so it doesn't matter.

My mother gave him my screen names. Turns out he has started getting into photography and ever since I showed him some of my swimwear, lingerie and nude work there is barely a time I am online on AOL/AIM that he does not IM me seeming like a giddy kid wanting to see if I have anything new,lol.
