Laura Lea's photostream  

I am starting to block people where I can't see their photo stream, they have an unsafe site (beyond artist's use of nude models) or they have used my photos in conjunction with their fetishes. Seems simple but it is not. Any violence towards women/children/men or animals will be objectionable to me. I have found a weath of artistic friends through Flickr and certainly am not a prude. I want my friends with chidlren to feel safe communicating with me. Marking me as a favorite means I will check your site. I have seen other such postings lately and now I too am making one. My artwork is my own too, please respect that, copying is not the greatest form of flattery, it is stealing. When I use someone as inspiration I make it my own way with my own ideas and twists, and I also tell them of their inspiration first , acknowledge their influence , and give them credit. So that being said, I look forward to meeting new friends.
