You're right. I misread and thought he was asking if it was okay to post here.
That said, although some might regard my take as conservative, I say
hardly. I have nudes of myself and my girls as babies, but as a parent I can't understand why anyone would ask a prepubescent child to pose nude.
I agree that there's nothing wrong with the human body, but I feel the children in these pictures (I only saw the first 10 or so) are not old enough to know or decide if they're being exploited. The tone of the photos strikes me as pornographic. I feel like I'm viewing kiddie porn. Even those that don't show the body somehow convey something definitely not childlike.
The human body is beautiful. But kids are just beginning to grow their bodies, they are about a spirit and beauty that comes from their naivete. I could see it as art if the focus and lighting felt a little less slimy. Maybe I've been a mommy too long.
And, for the record, I think Americans are wound too tightly when it come to sex and the human body. Go figure.
