Sally Mann photographed her children in a lot of positions and situations that many people think is not acceptable. There were a lot of nude photos. Although they were not in sexual positions or portrayed as being trying to show off her children's bodies, I do not think that it is okay to publish them. I understand it being art, but how will they feel later in their life, when their friends' have that photo in their house or when they are even older and trying to get a date. I do not believe that she thought about that. I think they are beautiful photos, but I think that they belong in the family photo album or displayed around the house, in grandma's house or close famliy members, but not made public.
Chapter 4 discusses how social roles have changed. A long time ago, art was seen as something that was meant for the upper class, not middle or lower class. The photograph has played many different roles including art, science, marketing, the law, and personal things for people. Art explains the time period it was drawn in. A real world or the fake world, either world will give away when it was drawn. Reproduction is an important.
