They don't understand all of them, but they like most.
I don't show them my explicit crotch shots. but then again, I don't show many people those.

My mother would say, you did all those shots for free you idiot! Damn at least your brother would have gotten some money out of it!

Hell no my mother hasn't seen all my images! She hasn't seen most, actually.
My parents are the reason I have an alias. They're not progressive folk.

I just thought I would come back into this thread and mention a very surreal conversation I had with my mother through instant messanger. I keep in touch with a lot of my family 2500 miles away through IM often.
As mentioned before my mother is a Pentacostal Christian who has made comments like"my my son, I bet you enjoyed that shoot that day huh" about the shoots I have done.
My mother wanted to see my glamourboulevard.com site when it is finished. This morning I decided it was close enough to finished to finally show her. Well, she looked at it and the first thing she said was about how much she absolutely loved the nude shot(which is the same nude shot of the model with the rope lights in my portfolio here). Considering her being a diehard Christian, and the sarcastic comments she has made about my shoots before, you can only imagine how many Neurons were exploding in my brain at this point. We started talking more in depth about my photography and the nude shoot I did of the same model on a cliff overhanging part of Santa Cruz beach.
She has asked to see some of those.
My brain is twitching right now trying to grasp the thought that she actually showed that much interest in my work. Especially the art nude styles.
I guess I should sort of feel honored that my mother likes my work that much. I know how good it makes me feel when a models mother compliments me on the work I did of her daughter. When you get moms approval that really means something wether you seek it or not. like staying on the *good side* of the mother of the bride at a wedding.

Would you show you Mom or Dad ALL your photo image???
Just wondering how proud you are of you work.
M Yep. My mother the art professor bought me my first camera & is my harshest critic.
Subject matter never bothers her, but gods forbid I frame something poorly.
Stepdad looks but he's not an art person, it never connects with him.

Me: "As we speak I'm editing pictures of a woman who's just cut the throat of another woman so she could drink her blood. It was my idea. I'm pretty sure that makes me weird." Mom would probably ask me if that wasn't a cliche LOL
(and I'm not downing you, I shoot stuff like that too!)

My mom is my number one fan! She loves all of my photos and has been there for all of the shoots. There hasn't been one photo that she doesn't approve or dislike.

What you say here takes me to the thead where we were getting in to familial reaction...sometimes their love & pride can overcome their other issues.
That's one of the good things :-)
