Is There a line??, you see to have a line one has to be in the place to take the image,
we no longer take images for ourselves after all any one now with a camera seems to think they are a photographer,
we now take pictures for the approval of others, Long gone is the family photo album and in comes flickr and other sites where one can get comments that make them feel good

I have forgotten how many times i have heard the words "oh they will love that on the net"

My father was a photographer from 1940,s through to the 1970,s he was one of 3 in our town now i am one of 2,366 in the same town

life changes the digital camera is instant, some times you dont have time to think will this picture have the correct impact,

The line is one the photographer sets for themselves, the line gets finer the more we try and get respect or noticed by those on the net

I draw a line at nudes, i wont do it, full stop but some photographers excel on it,
I draw aline at posting SP,s in no clothing with a range of sex toys in the image, but again some people love doing it
I dont think the line is about photographer its about when do you put a full stop to getting nticed
