About Sexless Photography

If you have been a Flickr member for a while you have probably noticed that sex sells or sex related photographs get viewed more than photographs that don't focus on sexual subjects.
Sometimes it has to do with the sexy self obsessed photographer or down and dirty images having no artistic or technical qualities.
If you doubt that this is the case, simply tag a test photo with the word "sex" and see what happens to your view number.
The images of good photographers using the best of both experience and technical photographic skills sometimes get buried in the shear amount of sex related subjects. Great photographs don't get the recognition they deserve.
I don't think there are any of us that think sex is a bad thing but it may take away from experiencing the wonderful work on Flickr.
This group pool will highlight only those great photographs that capture more creative and technically good images without reference to sexual content.
The gate-keeping will use that old concept of "I know it when I see it" when accepting photographs.
I hope you will invite many great photographers to join this group.
