Sally Mann
Sometimes a dog bone, really is just a dog bone. Watching Sally Mann describe her photos made me think of my own artwork-sometimes there really isn't any hidden, Freudian meaning. Her pictures of her children at play were just that-children at play. Although the staging of some was time consuming, Mann didn't set out with the idea-"okay, today is naked picture day" Most children when playing, hate clothes-any chance they get, they strip. We need to ask ourselves, what is wrong with us that when we see something as natural as nudity, we automatically think of child porn.

Sure its easy to say that kids hate clothes, the truth of the matter is were one to carefully monitor themselves they would see that we as humans hate clothes! Upon arrival at home off go the shoes, socks or hosiery, pants shirts buck naked! We all do this and to see young nude children only serves to bring ones own spent youth into the picture that's all nude photos of kids serve.
