Mar 13 06 08:15 am Link Helmut was one of the 1st photographers that I learned about and he was a genius and he even shared his wife with us .......He shot Fantasy not porn my favorite Helmut shot was the 4 models dressed and undressed .....same pose Helmut is rolling in his grave to hear crap like that .......Helmut open doors for us ...well so did "Lil Kim " lol Even Robert Mapplethorp (sp) was an artist ...however his Male work wasn't my cup of tea but he was an artist and paid dearly for his vision !!!! photographing a whip up someones ass may not be your cup of tea but it made him famous !!! lol I personally liked Mapplethope's book "Lady" his B/W was pure Art. You'll tripping up in here !!! Mar 13 06 11:49 pm Link My favorite quote of his is: "there are 2 dirty words in photography, art and taste" BTW Definitely not porn, porns message is come get me, Helmut's was more don't you wish you were worthy of me Mar 13 06 11:58 pm Link Shoot it? Newton helped define it. Without him, the fetish/bondage/did photographers you all love to hate [eg: myself] wouldn't even exist. Needless to say, I think his picture should be on money. Mar 14 06 01:09 am Link thats like saying Nan Golden's work is porn then again its all in the eyes of the beholder he WAS controversial though Mar 14 06 01:10 am Link Celestial Sinn wrote: Celestial - you're missing the Maestro's point entirely. During an interview, Herr Newton said that one of the best compliments he ever received was when some celebrity admitted that he loved to look at Helmut Newton's photographic work while masturbating. Also, "Ich habe nur ein Feind - 'Gute Schmack'!" [translation: I have only one Enemy - "Good Taste"!]. Mar 14 06 04:22 am Link QUESTION to all models: If HN called & asked you to model for him, is there a single person here, that models for a living (not as a paid hobby!), that would say "No thanks - I don't do nude work or work with pornographers"?
