Those are both descriptions of pictures taken of me when I was a child. I'm sure situations are going to come up that are similar to those with my daughter.

The question of intent has to mean something. If they are obvoiusely sexual pictures, then that is wrong. But, there are ways to take pictures that are not made to cause arousal, but yet have naked people in them. I see no problem with those. The problem lies in the people that get aroused by them.
Cursed naked baby pictures. It's something bordering on inevitable that any date I take to meet my parents somehow finds her way to dad's room. Cooing and giggling commence...

*ARRRRGGGHHHH*

Back to the thread though, if there isn't any intent to commit a crime, that's going to put the burden that much higher on the jury. It all comes down to the actual photos though, are they pornography? As that justiced said, "I can't define it, but I know it when I see it."
