My site contains full-frontal images of naked men. It's art not tart, and because of this I don't think that any 'if you're under 18' restriction should apply. If you, or anyone who might be watching what you are doing, find such images offensive, please don't enter my site then complain. Use your browser back button or click here to exit. I think it was Marshall McLuhan who said "No one has the right not to be offended". "What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist." Apparently Salman Rushdie said that, and as Lord Reith (the BBC's first Director-General) once said, "There are some people whom it is one's duty to offend!". I don't set out to offend, but if I tried not to offend anyone, then I'd fail because one thing is for sure, someone will always be offended. Perversely, if I am offended by what they say, that's not important, only their feelings are.
Contrary to what some might think, I'm not obsessed with sex when I take photographs of naked men - it's an old cliché about photographers of the nude - but I like the shape & other qualities of naked men. If you find any of my photographs erotic, I suggest you get out more.
All photographs on this site are copyright and are Digimarc watermarked, so please don't use or reproduce any without my permission. They are not in the Public Domain. If you are a student, lecturer or teacher, you are welcome to use any of my images as illustrations, but please e-mail me first, and please don't use them in a way that is disrespectful to those who appear. I have my models and subjects to think of, as well as what they agreed on the model release forms, so your co-operation will be appreciated.
