That was appropriate, given the context of the shot. Illustrating the horrors of war. This guy has not thus far demonstrated why this is anything other than naked shots of a young girl. I know many of you want to protect "ideals", and freedoms, but society also needs people to be adults and say "this is wrong, children do not need to be exploited so some dumbass "artist" can make a "statement" about nothing. So fuck him, and grow up people. Your freedoms are not under assault. His dumb ass is.

I don't think that you should argue that it's not art just because you don't see the point. It's pretty clear to many of us that there is a statement behind them. If you don't see it then maybe you should stick with mainstream art.
I have a question for those of you that think this looks like porn just because it's shot in a studio. Why does a studio = porn?? Some of the most famous art out there was shot in a studio and some of the most famous porn is shot outdoors.
