On top of that I think newspapers should not use computers for their layout, but still do that in lead. I hope Hefferman still wrote her article with a feather pen (using a pen really creates good articles because you have to think when you write, wordprocessors enable anybody to write good articles). In seriousness, Hefferman's article is just to silly to take serious, but your respones Aniela, pretty much says it all.

Your photos are more than simple nudes or photoshop, they are art, a different manner to see the things, people... and I love it. I think you have a great talent and I hope you never stop in that way. Painting is art, photograph is art and photoshop is a part of this art. Like to paint with paintbrush or with your fingers. Congratulations for your photos! Sorry for my english, but I´m spanish :) Nudes give you visits but not recognition.

I think that you have the incredible opportunity of TIMING - to be on the verge of this change within the art industry and of course everything new will be met with a lot of resistance at first... but you are a pioneer - don't forget that. You are much more important to this change than the people who will come after you. Yeah, this article was rather annoying… great response Natalie. You know what though? Be excited.

Don't regret your comment, which at this point I don't think you do. You always express yourself so well in both your writing and your images. The article was interesting to me bc I saw, once again, just how ignorant people can be even in that medium that is so influential and has such a large readership. I don't know why I am continually surprised by these type of articles. I have a great respect and admiration for film photographers, especially the likes of Mr. Cartier-Bresson and Ms. Arbus, however, I have a tremendous respect and admiration for artists, like yourself, Rebbekka and Merkley and all the others on flickr and elsewhere, who are so innovative and creating a new art form using digital photography, photoshop and other programs. The reality is that for every person who loves your art, my art, etc there are 10 who hate it. I see this as the best thing about making art: creating a dialougue and getting people to think about it in the first place. Your images mean so many things to so many people and for different reasons. This is what motivates me to create and to take chances. You have something to say. Your work inspires people to think of topics ranging from the relationship of light and shadow to post-feminism to sex to the explosion of the internet. This NYT article is just more of the same in terms of the media coming to their own conclusions in the form of an opinion. Hopefully next time they will bother to actually interview one of the artists who they mention (although they did interview Thomas Hawk for this one).

I am pretty puzzled that such a shortsighted article / view can be published on such a forum. flickr is about popular photography and it provides a social enviroment for amateurs and hobbists. therefor it was never ment to define today's "high-art" photography. surely they can coexist. why does it bother anyone that a few people can use flickr to leverage their work and use that opportunity? those who had the privilege to take their "flickr fame" further, get a wider recognition had so much more than "boobs". maybe my opinion on the original NYT article is not that harsh as yours, but I pretty much have to agree with you.
