This image was inspired by the recent 'Art or Porn' debate, but I have to admit that Metate's challenge entry from a while back must have stuck in my head even more than I thought!

After his comment below, I went to check out his image & damned if I didn't practically steal it directly. I recall liking it a lot, but obviously quite a bit indeed! His is much better, IMHO.

Anyway, this was a classic "Oh crap, the challenge ends in 45 minutes & I don't even have an idea yet" type of entry for me. Somehow I managed to think this one up, go out in my yard with a flashlight & gather sticks, make the stick figures, shoot the 'porn' image, edit, print & frame it, then make a new set-up for this image, shoot & edit & post it all in less than an hour. I think the final image shows the rush job on this & I would have killed for 20 more minutes of edit time...

Thanks for all the great comments!

I was just looking through your portfolio and came across this (again). My memory is so bad I didn't even realize that I had commented on this before - That's pretty funny how the unconscious mind works ... or in my case- doesn't =)

I think this is the funniest picture of the set. The soft focus on the controversial picture is a nice touch too.
