How Far Is Too Much? How Far Can We Go?
We have a responsibility to Society and to ourselves. Our market, or audience, is the Society that seeks us or that we seek. The Society at-large, does not seek us, but may stumble upon us.
When we shoot, we shoot for ourselves. There are few limits, for us. As we seek an audience, there are more and more limits, and we have to always be aware of what we impose on those who have no thought or desire to sit in audience to us, to be captive to our private desires, impulses and whims.
This is not a statement of nudity, beauty, sexuality, exhibitionism, or pride – it is a statement of balance. What do we do, and where do we go, to explore our own boundaries – and where do we stop?
If we enjoyed climbing mountains, or swimming in open seas – we should challenge ourselves and do so – but we should also be prepared, and we should not expect someone else to save us from our personal decisions. Unless we have an audience that chooses to voyeuristically watch us challenge the elements, strip to our nakedness, or go further – we cannot expect Society to “save us.” Nor should they constrain us.
