Censorship, Art vs. Commerce, and getting old:

I recently received a call from one of my clients, a very prestigious educational institution here in Los Angeles saying that a female student was offended by my web site Fine Art Undressed. My first reaction was what the fuck, really? But the action I took was the balancing act of Art vs. Commerce. Their commerce provides me with the funds to do my art. In the final analysis its comical that they pay me to offend their students and faculty with my art work, yet they don't want me to stop working for them because they value my artistic ability to create images that sell their alumni on giving billions of dollars in donations to the school.

This whole situation has me questioning what I do and why I do it. I have been shooting shocking, perverse and disgusting photos for a potential gallery show. If I make these pictures public my money making capability will be reduced to zero. This is confirmed by a recent conversation I had with a model friend who worked with two of the most renowned living fine art nude shooters. She said that both of them are supported by their significant others and will most likely live out their final days in poverty.

Basically, I've come to realize that I have been censored by capitalism, by money, not the Christian Right. If I didn't need money for my old age (fast approaching) I would tell the whole world to fuck off. I will continue to shoot whatever I damn well please, I just can't show anyone until I'm dead and gone.
