There have been many stories lately about 'celebrities' who have had nude pictures of themselves hacked from their' icloud' accounts. They must know that this could happen . I agree that these accounts are private but these days very little is totally secure so why take the chance if you don't want them spread around. Why do they need to take these photo's anyway ? If they want to look at their own bodies then use a mirror and if they are for a loved one then surely they would rather look at the real thing.

The body at any age can be photographed to produce wonderful images, especially in black/white. Most of the images that have stopped me in my tracks at exhibitions have been of old people. Wind/sun may be bad for us but it does bring out the history of life.

My SO (at the time) took pics of me in pretty undies, when I was about 58 and still ok, and I took one of him with a large chopper and a pile of logs!
He has a lovely @@ and the chopper was very impressive! wink

pompa I agree with you, but the pics that are appearing on the internet from hacked mobiles don't sound like the beautiful, artistic images that you describe. I imagine no-one that distributes or looks at these nude celeb photos is thinking that they would look suitable for a public art exhibition at the Tate grin

Agus Sat 11-Oct-14 12:39:35

THIS is why 'discussion of the day' is all about hairy chins and dribbling.

Misdirection! #mysterysolved grin

You should visit when we're having one of our virtual parties.
Do you folks remember the OAP suffragette March and the Tor party with all those firemen?

You do woonder at the lack of common sense of some people.

Ana Sat 11-Oct-14 13:54:35

Very sensible, Lona. You wouldn't want him hanging around all the time! wink

Lona Sat 11-Oct-14 13:57:50

Certainly not shock

Agus Sat 11-Oct-14 14:08:22

Good to hear he helps out with odd jobs Lona. Sometimes a helping hand doing DIY is needed wink
