Double Standard
Passions are red hot on the both sides of the Bill Henson coin, there is no question of that.
Clearly what remains is the fact that children were photographed in inappropriate ways regardless if the children gave permission (questionable in itself) or not or if the parent/s of the children gave permission (questionable once again but for a different reason).
This clip summarises the height of hypocrisy our society has reached; naked photographs of children in a gallery are 'art' - naked photographs of children on some ones computer are 'child pornography'.
Art CAN NOT and MUST NOT be used an as excuse for abuse and exploitation therefore art MUST have boundaries!
