#6700098 Takaci Hirano Photography

I've long been a fan of Japanese photographer Takaci Hirano's serial documentary style, so I was very pleased when he wrote to let me know he'd updated his website with some new images. If you're unfamiliar with his work, he creates series of images of his models in all sorts of daily life situations ranging from the common place to the extremely private. The result is a look into these women's lives that is intimate to a degree I don't think I've ever seen elsewhere.

French photographer Oliver Marci. The website interface is more than a bit mysterious, but if you find your way, it's worth it.

Virginia Beach police seize photos from Abercrombie store | HamptonRoads.com | PilotOnline.com

I don't do politics and censorship much here, mainly because I know it's an exercise in frustration, but I swear, when I read a story like this I begin to despair for the future. A shopping mall store was raided and the manager cited with obscenity charges for displaying the photo above, and one other. The other image is of a woman who is topless and whose "breast is displayed with her hand covering just the nipple portion".
Doesn't anyone living in the United States NOT see that they are doing exactly what the Taleban would have done ? What makes me sadder/angrier are some of the comments praising the decision to get rid of this "sick porn", etc. What the hell is so offensive about the human body ? (Stops writing before a curse filled rant ensues)
