HOW TO GET BLOCKED!

NEW STEP ZERO!
If you want to get blocked FAST, take these two steps to expedite the process:
0a. Display nude/sexual photos with the faces digitally blurred or blocked in a crude fashion. I'm down with artful posing or cropping of photos. Scribbling out the face is just plain offensive.
0b. Have a username that tells me more than I need to know about your sexual preferences, anatomy, etc. Effective keywords include uncut, smooth, bi, bear, chubby etc. I'm all for being uncut, smooth, bi, bear, chubby, or whatever floats your boat, but if you think that's the most interesting thing about you, I'm not interested.

1. Mark photos as favorites. Preferably a whole lot all at once. (I actually like having photos marked as favorites, but this is how the blocking process usually starts.)
2. Don't have a buddy icon.
3. Don't have photos available to me. I know you might have a bunch of photos that aren't for everyone. But ALL you have is porn/nudes/whatever? You don't have any pictures of puppies or a barbecue or something?
3a. If you mark me as a friend and don't have anything visible to me, then you're clearly just trying to sucker me into making you a friend, and that's just insulting.
3b. Have only shitty porn pictures available to me.
4. Have all porn groups and friends.
5. Invite pictures into obviously disrespectful groups. Sexy is fine. "Hot BBW Redheads" or some such might be okay. I really don't want to take pictures of a model who has trusted me with her image and then post it to "The Udder Club."
6. Have a username that tells me, before I even look at your photos (or lack there of) exactly what your sexual tastes are.
7. Bonus points if you make a point to fave and invite the photos I haven't put time and effort into Photoshopping.
8. Extra bonus points for utter disregard of spelling, punctuation, and capitalization in your profile.

So yes! You too can be blocked!

I'm 36, and I can't find the place to add my date of birth on here.

Oh yeah, I also blog here:

and I've been cruising for models at Model Mayhem, where I have this profile:

My Amazon.com Wish List

And of course:

To make sure you can see my pictures and plenty of others that acknowledge the existence of nipples and nads, follow these instructions provided by lilly1975:

instructions adapted from lilly1975:

So in order to promote free choice and free (and easy to access information) here is how you set your account to be able to see Ned's and many other talented artist and just people who take nude photos and painting and other stuff that doesn't follow flickr's idea of what is safe.


1) on the left top menu, under the drop down menu of "You" there's a "Your account" option.

2) choose that then go to "Privacy and Permissions"

3) on the bottom of the page, under "content filter" press "edit"

4) choose "safe search off" and choose both non-photographic images" and "screenshot"

5) save your changes

That way you are receiving all of flickr content and not just what they think you should be getting.

For bonus points: Copy and paste those instructions and send them to all the people on flickr that you know or post it in groups.


The camera can represent flesh so superbly that if I dared, I would never photograph a figure without asking that figure to take its clothes off… It is monstrous that custom should force us to display our faces ostentatiously, however worn and wrinkled and mean they may be, whilst carefully concealing all our other parts, however shapely and well preserved… Our fashionable books on African and Australian travel are full of photographs of dark ladies undraped and unembarrassed whose natural propriety passes unchallenged because their self-possession makes us forget our natural prudery.
—George Bernard Shaw

    "Truly one of the most interesting and diverse collections of photography on flickr. When I log in, I always wonder what cunnison will have posted. It makes me feel a little ashamed of my piddly collection. I am always amazed and inspired after reviewing your work."
