by Lee Castor Sometimes there's very little, sometimes there's a bit more. This is where a few things on my mind wind up. I am generally good at causing a little chaos and catching it with my camera. All the images here are mine, if they aren't they're both public domain and very well cited. For those that are mine that you may find interesting, I've provided a small "donate" button and email if you'd like to inquire about a print or two or to inquire about pricing and day rates.

@tumblr has decided that even after appeal this image violates their guidelines. Last chance tumblr. This image is art. The woman in the image is covered in paint. Explain to me how this violates the guidelines. There are literally no nipples showing. By the best of my ability and understanding a woman in a tee shirt with no bra would be in the same category and should equally violate your terms.

Last chance.

Oh no! Tumblr

Dear tumblr,

You or someone have flagged a photo of my creation as portraying adult content. I have appealed this. If an image of a woman covered in copious amounts of thick white paint violates these new standards and the image is removed I have news. 1) there is an obvious flaw in your company’s idea of adult content and nudity. 2) I will be deleting a very very old tumblr account and not looking back.

I found this photo. I made this photo. This photo is controversial if taken out of context. This is actually a photo from the 2009 presidential inauguration. I believe the woman had fallen and the MP’s were helping her up. They are only masked as it was about 20 degrees that day. The photo was taken my accident: zone focus on old retinettes works. And we joked about how my shutter went off and shook hands. I thought with all the flutter about immigration that sharing an image online, without proper citation from a reputable source is always published out of context. This doesn’t make the image more or less. But the image without citation has to be taken as such, treated more as a work of fiction, until proven otherwise. As soon as I can get my makeshift/mobile darkroom set, I should have many more images to share. #kodakgold200 #obamascrowd #nowall https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq8qBilgTpL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bzc8lhiejmpt
