Interesing post!  I don't suppose the art gallery would be willing to share Anne home adress?  When and where is the showing?  I wish to make a personal observation, and judge for myself.

you should ask Jason....he can give you her email address too

ohmy....look at the filthy image that the photographer Jason Lee Parry (#46620) used as his flyer for upcoming art opening:
[img]Insert photo of guy sitting on luggage and 2 naked females with rabbit heads hugging on a mattress pad behind him.  Image censored because even though you can't really see nipples, images of breasts unless involved in selling corporate commerce are considered 18+ and thus are a danger to society. Xtian fundies 1, naked lesbo rabbits=0[/img]

fortunately, one woman is on the look out for such heathen depictions of women and sexuality and gasp homosexuality!
please read her educational letter that she sent to the art gallery:

My 18 year old son has brought home one of your postcard style flyers advertising the upcoming reception highlighting the art work of photographer Jason Lee Parry, from where he got it, is part of the reason why I am writing, wondering how you distribute these flyers, it was not mailed I know that. unless one of his friends aquired it that way. And the other reason for writing is for asking your hosts of this gallery, just why you are using this obvious, pornography photos, on public flyers displayed in public places in Portland? This type of offensive material (to most people) is porography, ane therefore illegal I believe. I am aware that the Portland Mercury News also has display of advertisers who are nearly nude and many of which are young nieve nearly girls, advertising their bodies for sale for any peoples weak sexual perverted urges to come see them naked and do things to them sexually, and I have called PMN declaring they are out of control allowing those girls to advertise.  Americans do not need pornography and sexual perversions ruining our society and advertisers have contributed to much of it all themselves!  So none of its kind should be appearing on cards then, like your decision to show a photo publicly, having been taken by a photogrpher, Jason Lee Parry, who apparently thinks that the pose of those women laying naked, as they are lovers, and the man sitting there looking away, supposedly being left apart from his woman he loved, to face the truth of the "sickness of homosexuality" of his woman taking another woman, is a raw depiction of the realities people battle and the scattered memories that are left behind. But showing this battle of scattered memories or painful things of which people face, don't need to be done how he did, where he exploited women in the process, and those women exploited themselves. Those two women posing nude for photographers, is clearly a depiction of a part of the decaying sick immoral society I see and many, many people today see in the reality of the evils of our siciety and it is clear from hell. These behaviors/sins are wreaking lives of too many people, it is so sad. They are making poor choices for themselves and for their businesses. For themselves, by participating in pornography sale of these photos, many anyway, and encouraging people to be nude in the public eye, which is a sexual perversion, and shows immaturity, and lack of values and true respect for another human being. Oh, yeah, it is truly a raw depiction and reality for some people, those who only "will allow behaviors of sinful and immoral lifestyles", to destroy relationships to begin with. There is a choice to stay away from sin and not allow it to destroy a life and family, and business. You should realize that your advertisements for your gallery, of this kind, with the nude women, can get into the hands of underage kids, and is not appropriate for anyone for that matter like I said, I hope you have some conscience to think it is immoral and wrong to have naked people photgraphed period, and just because all people are adults, doesn't mean that adults can particapate in these things and for it to be fine, it is never fine. The naked body is beautiful and created by God, but never intended to be exploited and disrespected, is what you are doing, and what Jason Lee Parry is doing. The naked body was inteneded only for true lovers to see each other that way, only as married people man and woman. And for parents to see their beautiful baby naked, taking care of their baby, only in those two ways, and deep respect is the important issue to recognize here and their is none in the viewing of that photograph.     
Verytruly,     
Anne

Wow, a Christian fundamentalist art critic.

What a nightmare.

Thanks.  Actualy, I'm only interested in the showing.  I seriously doubt that anyone could get through to Anne about what a big, diverse (nasty) world it is out there.  Although, I would be willing to rent a jackhammer for her head and give it a try....
Are you one of the models?  Perhaps we can get together sometime?

Yea,  cool thread but that pic should be linked to and not posted in a thread.

Borderline but still over the border.

Please just link to it and label 18+.

Thankyou.

Ahhh! i did, as quickly as i could, but someone quoted me! what do i do?
there is some irony here

Duh. Those aren't women! Look at the heads!

They are obviously donkeys with human female bodies!

When I reviewed the photo again, I now understand what your talking about.  Guess I just forgot to look up.

I wish God would tell me how He intended the naked human body to be displayed.  I do hear disembodied voices, but they just tell me to save France.

In the old days, God used to speak to me in a booming voice punctuated with lots of lightning.  Now all I get are text messages.

Yes,  I see the irony and the quoter should take it down.   Not my rule but the rule of the site.

Often discussed and not the decision of one.   I do believe even tyler made comments on the issue.

All threads that post nudes are in danger of being removed.

Ah, the world can sleep soundly tonight, the starving... full, the maimed... complete, the restless...at peace because the bare buttocks of rabbit women have now been hidden from plain view.  SIGH.

This is true... Go Jason! Woohoo! Actually, I offended a couple of photographers who were giving me a portfolio review. They didn't say my work sucked, but they couldn't understand why there should be naked people in some of my work. Some peoples' kids...

Don't believe the voices -- France has already surrendered.

lmao, christian fundamentalists...gotta luv em. personally i like the pic.

I liked the photo as well, and I hardly found it "offensive" but I can certainly understand why a christian fundie would. I wish fundies would just shut up for once... And stay shut up. Sorry, I know that's disrespectfull, but I've really just about had it with them.

I only looked at the first line of your post and I am totaly disgusted by YOU not the image displayed. How dare you pass judgement on somebody's work and not your own. Who gives a F*** about your small minded twisted and perverted views of things. It's not the artists distorted view of things that scare me but people like you who are ruining the right to self expression. This country will truly be f***** if we buy into this kind of self serving censorship. Enough already with this administration-let the power fall!

Um... the OP quoted a letter another person sent the gallery upon seeing the card her son brought home and apparantly you missed her sarcasm. This is not the OP's opinion.
  And while the current president is supposedly a christian, he really has little to do with this. This sort of crap has been going on long before he stole the election.

  Hopefully I put that flame out before it got any bigger...
