Creating an Art of Respect

I feel the need to distinguish the difference between offensive photo shoots and celebratory photo shoots. By "celebratory" I mean celebrating the female body through the art of photography, lights, and other various aspects that go into making a women look like an angel in photos. There are sexy pictures that place women on the highest pedestal and there are sexy pictures that flat out degrade women. Displaying women in photos which put them in degrading or lessening positions is disgusting and in NO WAY is it "sexy." I feel it is very important for people to know that distinction. I am sure there are many men out there that love to see girls tied up, on their hands and knees, or getting certain fluids sprayed on their faces.

This is terribly saddening.

There is nothing sexy about that. In fact, it makes me want to puke. The reason we are attracted to women is beyond me, but I do know one thing. Photography of women should be extremely sexy, invigorating, and exciting, but never degrading, violent, hurting, or ...."owning." We do not own women. We worship them.

On that note, worship these women:
