Here it is



So I was at the mall,
and I saw this at Abercrombie.
It is about 8 feet tall in real life.
All of a sudden I remembered a news story.
This could NOT have been the one that was
in trouble for being obscene, could it?
Holy crap, it is this picture.
Here is a snippet from the AP story:


"VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) ¯ Police confiscated
two display photos of scantily clad men and a
woman from an Abercrombie & Fitch store and
cited the manager on a misdemeanor obscenity
charge, authorities said."


Again, that is from Associated Press, not me.
So a guy pulling up his pants while running
gets people arrested on an obscenity charge.
Isn't this going a little far?
I mean really people, it is a butt crack.
Do they want to arrest all the plumbers next?
My goodness do people get a bit crazy about sexy stuff sometimes.
I think maybe it is the authorities that may be perverted now.
Maybe they could protect us by stopping stupid wars,
or feeding the hungry in our own country.
Not by getting all riled up over a butt crack.
I am so glad I am a photographer.


Yeah, social commentary, I know,
not normally my style, but I was
thinking I needed a break after
the last couple of days.
