thinking in terms of through lines i have been trying to shape some big questions to go with this blog.

"where does shame come from?" is unfortunately a big question on my mind lately.

when does erotica become pornography? is sexuality offensive?

i did a bunch of images of of men with erections with halos and the same glow that the other saintly men have. I titled these "He has Risen" I like the idea of showing christ at the height (pardon the pun) of his humanity. How can we attach "Passion" to this character and expect that he was flacid his entire life. i have not posted them because that is one of the ratings guiedlines for films, erect male nudity warrents an X rating. i wasn't sure how this would go over on blogger so i'm going to wait till after i present to the class to post these. ...but i'm pretty sure that my having to hesitate is wrong.

why?
