Link Roundup: Somewhat NSFW Edition
Don’t get too excited folks, I haven’t degenerated into passing out Playboy and Maxim spreads (yet). I just came across a couple links that I think are worth seeing, but may offend some of the more innocent members of my readership.
For those of you new to the internet, NSFW is shorthand for Not Safe for Work. This means that the link leads to something your boss might fire you for. It’s usually nudity, but it can be other things that the puritans consider vulgar.
Enough of that bollocks, on with the links:
- “The Park” by Kohei Yoshiyuki (NSFW #1)- Japanese photographer Yoshiyuki explores the weird phenomenon of sex in pulic parks, and the peeping toms who spy on them in this series of photos from 1970’s Tokyo.
- Shocking Anorexia Photo at Milan Fashion Week (NSFW #2) -I don’t know how ’shocking’ it is, but it takes a lot to scandalize me. However, it does a good job of getting the message out there about eating disorders. Much like this commercial, which has been doing the rounds.
- How to Gracefully Accept Criticism (SFW #1) - ZenHabits hits the nail on the head with this article. This is must-read material for any photographer expecting to show another human their work. These rules are totally optional if you’re dealing with the Delete Me crowd on Flickr; I like to be snarky right back to them.
- Twelve Essential Photographic Rules (SFW #1) - You can’t break ‘em if you don’t know ‘em, so head over to PopPhoto and take some notes.
Now I can start digging through the 150-odd photography articles that piled up in my RSS reader on my hiatus. Link roundups might be a bit heftier in the coming weeks.

Good to see you toss up a quick post. I figured you’d be coming back soon enough; I’ve seen you wandering around digg and flickr over the last week or two.

Thanks Brian :)
Yeah I’ve still bee online, but writing has been pretty hard. It always is after a break though :)
I’m back in action as of today, though. Going to do weekday posting for a while and see how that runs.
BTW, congrats on hitting Digg with that Flickr Photographers article! That was a solid read and a good hour or two of browsing for me

Welcome back.
Great link to the article on taking critisism in a positive manner. Emotions are good, control is key……
Stay well.
