![https://img3.modelmayhem.com/060223/22/43fe8aba263c5.jpg]() Here's one of mine. It seems to mean different things to different people..... Here is my take. At first glance one would think he is talking advantage of the young beauty but on closer inspection one realizes that he is the victim. Enjoy! Rudy Ferguson

You should have posted a few pics.
Your stuff's pretty awesome. Firstly let me say that I must take issue with your statement that Jeffery scotts work is all porn covers. I do not believe that the work that he has featured in his portfolio are box covers.... They are artistic images that were commisioned by the studio. I believe that there are 8 images from that commission on a portfolio of 97 images... Certainly 8 of 97 does not by anyones definition equal most.
I don't understand the logic or the arguement that it isn't art because its commercial or that its porn or that its controvercial... Do any of those things make the work speak any less? Is it that the work doesn't speak or is it you're plugging your ears because your morals are getting in the way of seeing.

Most of what I shoot has some meaning to me. That's why I shoot it. Even assignment work I'll try to find the angle that says something to me that says what "they" need it to say.
Whether or not it's communicated isn't for me to judge.

Not to be difficult, but all my images have meaning...to my subjects as well as myself. What they mean to you is something you must decided for yourself [or not if you're disinclined to look]. I suppose I have images in my archive that would qualify as "meaningful" in the traditional sense [ie: obvious issues that everyone can get behind], but instead, I decided to show an image that speaks to the core of what i try to do every time i pick up a camera: it's acttually work-safe technically, but the link takes up less space. http://www.erocrush.com/erotic_update_5-06/knee.jpg What does it mean? You tell me.

*scratches head* He edited his post. He had gone into a litiney about Jeffery Scott, and how it's all porn covers, and this was not art.
Perhaps he thought better of it after he posted and retracted his statements.

Perhaps he thought better of it after he posted and retracted his statements. No he didn't. He had a wedding reception to attend to, and now he is back. He was going to add to the quote, and didn't want to leave it up until it was posted in it's entirety. But here is the original quote untouched the way it was originally posted.

Don't get me wrong. They are wonderfully crafted pieces of art, but they represent some pretty whack porno. Taken out of context though those images are right up there with every amazing european Heavy Metal (the periodical) cover I've ever seen. Better infact! But as a whole package I prefer his truly artistic stuff. You have to dig real far back in his port though to see most of that.
I just can't use my imagination with his stuff past what the brunt of it is promoting. Your stuff is awsome though. You should have posted a few pics. Anyway that's the original quote untouched. Also, although I know what you meant, I don't think you used the word litany (spelled with an A) appropriately.
If you read my quote I never said that his stuff wasn't good, or that it wasn't art, or that it didn't speak to me. In fact I said it was good! What the hell were you reading?
I wasn't trying to bash Jeff, the guy is on my friends page for crying out loud, and so are you! I said I couldn't get past the origins of what the work was used to promote. "Whack porn".
Now if the porn was good...
Oh yeah, and who's got their ears covered?! I have nothing against fucking. The promotion of fucking as an art form, or as a method of procreation. I could give a fuck about labels or commercialism's strangle hold on how people view art or each other or whatever.
What I said about why I can't dig on Jeff's porn stuff has everything to do with how I see what I like. Nothing more nothing less. On my planet that is commonly refered to as an opinion. Just expressing mine. But for the record incase this is still unclear to you, Jeff's stuff is fucking rad!
To recap:
"Mostly" is not all.
And I never once stated that the man's work was not art.
So what's your deal?
