Baby Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 because she's one of my favorite photographers and i think i'm not the only one and one post on the photography's thread is not enough i decided to create this one to post her work. biography : Diane Arbus (March 14, 1923 – July 26, 1971) was an American photographer and writer noted for black-and-white square photographs of "deviant and marginal people (dwarfs, giants, transvestites, nudists, circus performers) or of people whose normality seems ugly or surreal." A friend said that Arbus said that she was "afraid... that she would be known simply as 'the photographer of freaks'"; however, that phrase has been used repeatedly to describe her. In 1972, a year after she committed suicide, Arbus became the first American photographer to have photographs displayed at the Venice Biennale. Millions of people viewed traveling exhibitions of her work in 1972–1979. In 2003–2006, Arbus and her work were the subjects of another major traveling exhibition, Diane Arbus Revelations. In 2006, the motion picture Fur, starring Nicole Kidman as Arbus, presented a fictional version of her life story. Although some of Arbus's photographs have sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars at auction, Arbus's work has provoked controversy; for example, Norman Mailer was quoted in 1971 as saying "Giving a camera to Diane Arbus is like putting a live grenade in the hands of a child." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Arbus Quote

Baby Posted December 14, 2011 Author Posted December 14, 2011 carmelita, this is the first time i saw your pseudo (in same time 95% of time i never remember people names even after 2 years on the forum) so i'm not sure you're informed about the "argument" i already had about it with the forum's administrator (? joe) who apparently now let me post nude pictures since few month ago... i'm agree to respect a rule when i think this one is intelligent and useful which is absolutely not my opinion about the nude rule. i'm agree to say pornography shouldn't be allow. this is normal. nudity, particularly art is something else. the only kind of nude art i never will post on his forum is stuff like Irina Ionesco's work who make erotic-nude pictures with her daughter (eva) of 5-11 years old. i really love her work but i never will put this kind of photography here. anyway do you think this rule is intelligent ? particularly on a forum where 50% of general conversations are about buttholes, sex toys, blowjob and pornography ? don't you think this is a it hypocrite ? don't you think it's not a bit pervers/retarded to put a red textlink with a warning for a pictures where we could the female's tits trought a t-shirt ? and which make me laugh because more than one time i saw wonderful advertising where everyone can see women have masturbations and put dildo in their holes in those website hosts... don't you think it's not a bit "sexist" to banish women's breasts but accept the men's ones ? why men and women's couldn't share the same rights ? don't you think VS pictures are more pervers, vulgar and degrading toward women than for example diane arbus picture where picture are just here, beautiful, natural and show a piece of their soul instead of try to excite superficial (sorry for the word) people with stuff who's absolutely not art. don't you think that accepted people body as they are without be shocked, without warning, is A a best way to accept is own body and B a good way to fight against sexual crimes ? tolerate nudity and banalised it is a good way to get down people excitation everytime they watch a piece of flesh. (i talk about nudity and not porn) do you know that all these text links and red warning are beautiful, do you think this organisation is better ? don't you think it's a bit unpleasant to be obligated to click on every link ? by the way, maybe i'm a bit burning head but what do you prefer. be able to build your own opinion even if sometimes you can act like an idiot and be wrong but judge something because you really tried to understand it and say "fuck it" when you really think it or just follow the rules and say "amen" to everything ? and honestly i prefer 100 times keep my convictions and be banish of this forum than tilt in front of a rule i think stupid and nobody had never gave me good reasons to accepted it. maybe i should feel ashamed of what i said, but i think my shame should be bigger if i didn't express my convictions.
