Artist's Comments

I could never decide if I really liked this photo or not....
While shooting at this abandoned hotel there were these books lying about burned and ripped up.
It's funny cause some time's I get looked at bad and say that I exploit women. Personaly I feel I make women sexy and powerful.
And usually I just look through the lens and the shapes and colors talk to me. But standing there as I picked up the torn and burnt book I heard the bon-fires of years past and present of people putting intellegence down, of people putting women down saying they shouldn't be smart, that books were the devil. Sex is the devil. (strange cause sex is a basic instinct and basic nature.) I looked at her in her punk outfit and I heard the furture of kids saying "I don't like to read" I felt warm inside as the scene spoke to me.....

By the way the book was a Romance novel :P (Lick)

Exploit women?!? Nice picture, don't know if I like the title, with the shot. But great all the same.

OK, I've only seen powerful women from you. lol More like a celebration than exploitation, I'd say.

And I like this shot. -nods-

There is definitely something about this shot. I can't put my finger on it, but I like it. The model is very beautiful, and the composition is great, but it's the feel of it that I can't figure out.... Oh well! Good job! Clap

I think you dont do anything for wommen, or men. You do great work for art, it saddens me to think you would get crap for that.
You see and get what you want to see and get from art thats why its so wonderfull, anyone who sees the exploitation of anyone in art wants it that way.

Very nice image, the story behind it does allot for me, I like to heart the stories behind the pictures. You should do it more.

I like the whole concept of the photo very cool.
Now, as far as the people that think bad of your work. They are obviously not paying attention! Ive been a fan of your photography for awhile, hell i knew who you were before i knew what deviant art was. I have always seen you as some one that takes powerful photographs of powerful women.
