Oh com e on Darius.. some is art... some is trashy...
Art is in the eyes of the beholder.. and that changes as you go around the world.

I think most of it is art. The first page had some fine photos that were artistic. It had a couple that were more pornographic.

But how do you determine what is trashy or art? Just like art is in the eye of the beholder, isn't also trashy? I mean, Playboy photos aren't really what I would consider trashy, but most would still call it porn.

That is the point I was making..... what I consider to be art.. could be seen as blashpemous in many places.
QuoteBut how do you determine what is trashy or art?
It's all subjective and qualitative. No clear lines exist. Some of the more puritanical persons would find anything that is at all tittilating to be pornographic, even the SI Swimsuit Edition. Others may find full frontal to be porn. Still others don't see anything that isn't explicit genital shots or contact to be porn.
It's like "What separates 'soft core' from 'hard core' porn?" And then, "What separates 'true art' from 'soft core porn?'"
Individual values.

Soft core they will not show penetration hard core they will.
To me art is something that takes talent, not just getting chicks to bend over naked and taking a picture.

Perhaps if it gives you wood at work, it's trashy...but that would tend to incorporate much of what is posted here for some, pics or no pics.

I would say there is more stuff there that is borderline porn / full porn than I would say there is art. Though, some of them shots would qualify as art.
Seems the photographer is going for quantity over quality.

What about a photo like this:
http://www.shutterpoint.com/Photos-ViewPhoto.cfm?id=132519
I mean, there is nothing particularly inventive about it, yet it has an artsy appeal to it without feeling pornographic, but it also just a black & white of a topless girl.

I'd hang it on my wall.

Hmm...It might take me all day to really decide 
but my initial thought was that if you masturbate to it, it's probably not art.
I think both are represented in this group of pics.
Is it strange that I am mezmerized by the women with small breasts? For some reason those are the ones I click on and want to see up close.

I think most of it, at least on the front page (I didn't look further) is art... However, porn can be art. I don't think they're mutually exclusive. A lot of those photos have interesting lighting, nice framing, and have a good balance between empty space and filled space.

Me too! And I went through every last page to make sure I made and educated decision on the porn/art debate.

Scroll down to the bottom to turn filter off.
What do you think?
What's the difference?
Where is the line?
They are art. But technically, so are bumper stickers. Judging art is not about identifying whether or not a piece qualifies as art; it's about identifying whether or not a piece is quality art.
I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

And just because a photo has a naked chick in it does not mean there wasn't a huge amount of work going into the composition, lighting, exposure, filters etc. of the shot.
Take this one for example. There is no way you can tell me that is just 'taking a picture'. To me the subject of a work is not what detremines its artistic status.
Do you want to have an ideagasm?

The photo you posted is awesome and I would never call that porn.
There were a lot of pics on that link.
There was a few with woman bending over just to show their ass, and more that to me seemed they were focused on selling the sex not the art.
But what you posted looks great

When I was browsing through it, that one jumped out at me enough to demand a click. It's a very nice picture and conveys something more than a simple attempt to turn me on, so I'd definitely call it art. Overall, I'd say about half the stuff in there is fairly unimaginitive art, with some of them considerably better than others. The other half of the stuff looks like it was designed purely to titillate, so I classify those as more porn than art.

I would consider this to be more artistic....
I may have a wee bit of a subjective opinion as my friend is the photographer...
