right on!
nice to see that the ’similar image’ algorithms picked out the original too.
The original text was right. Your response is not.
A lot of people seem to think that just by showing [parts of] a female body they are making something beautiful and arty and sexy. But they are not.
And trying to justify it with things like this one…:
“Sexy pictures wouldn’t rise if they weren’t wanted”
[hahahaha, yeah, and you only make what others want] …is just silly.
Alberto: What? You mean to say that all photography of the human body has no artistic merit?
@Alberto
I agree… Showing [parts of] a female body does not necessarily end up being arty and sexy. What’s important is the intention that records the image. If I take a picture in a moment of definitive (or maybe deconstructive) mood about these terms, that picture will surely be sexy and arty.
fffffound is formed by a collection of images that could pass the visual filtration of the users. I believe this makes them sexy. They are like tough sperm cells, all of which could made it to the egg. In this instance the egg is the brain. As an image is bookmarked, It reaches the promised land for the image, it has a new context to exist in (Not the creators context).
As an image takes its place in ffffound, it finds it self on a cross-contexual platform. After bookmarked fffffound puts it in a process in which the image is categorized, classified, analyzed and finally grouped according to different similarities. Actually this makes them arty.
Anyway being arty and sexy should not be much of a challenge, it’s being the art and the sex that matters.
