The eye of the beholder disturbes the open mind very often. This is a typical case of how things could be torn out of perspective. If you could ask Sally whats it all about she probably would give you here interpretation, the real truth that is. I don't say you have a sick mind, but your view on reality definitly needs a boost. Life can be very interesting when you have the ability to absorb the the right frequency of art.

I think it is beyond doubt she is a great artist and I very much like her landscape pics.
However some pics of her nude children I consider pornographic;when she depicts them not as innocent children (like cupids by Rubens et al) but little-baring-grown-ups. Like in the pic 'Candy cigarette' the little girl does not look like a child pretending to smoke, but as a child-prostitute...
All in all, I respect her, but some of her works I find frighteningly on the verge of child-pornography.

depends on the intention right! people can have sex, it is still sex, so is rape. I think she wanted to show something spiritual.

there is a fine line when it comes to pictures depicting nude child. yet throughout the ages, many respected artists, ex. reinassance, often depicted nude child in their art works. look at donatello's david, or baroque paintings depicting cupids. theyre not child porn. theyre simply artist's representation of subject matters. same should go for sally mann. she does not take pictures of her children for porn. she has her own meaning in her photos, and i respect her as a brave, tough artist.

I love Sally's work she did with her kids and husband (her early work). The latter stuff with the light leaking cameras...I just didn't get it. This color work...same way. A negative that thin could ONLY....ONLY be sold by Sally Mann now that she's famous.
The people who try to lump this lady into something like porn...I'm sorry. You're crazy. And this from a pretty conservative dude. Bless this lady and her vision. She's been a huge influence on myself and many other photogs.

...Only there's nothing sexual about those photographs. Don't be ignorant, learn to tell the difference between art and porn.
