nobody knows how many sunsets, but especially sunrises ipernity will have still...

however, after my last experience with censorship by the iper team i decided to show my images in the future just in my "friend's area" again. so this will be my last really public picture for a while... the while depends on what happens here on this platform.

for all who are interested in my work: if you don't have access to my "friend's area" yet, you may ask for - don't be shy ! :-)
if you're too shy for asking, you may follow my doing at www.taonarts.com... there you don't see photographs like this one (without any processing), just artistical ones, images which are not much appreciated by the iper staff, more appreciated by the visitors of my exhibitions and accepted by international curators and which are hanging on some walls in the homes of friends of my work... ;-)
hope, this image is unoffending enough for the admins here... :-)

and: this is my support for the iper team to be more focussed onto the real problems of this community, now they don't have to take care anymore that one of my nude art images could come into "explore" (uuuh !) :-)))

i am a sponsor in the group "win a club membership" (http://www.ipernity.com/group/winclub) and i will do my job there as i promised to do, but these both actions are my last support for iper under this administration.

enjoy ! (not the administration, this picture !) ;-)

not my style to show pure photography, but in this case i make an exception... 8-)

Beautiful sunset! I think it's outrageous that Ipernity wants to censor nude photos when they are a legitimate work of art. Maybe if they ran a museum, they'd be removing all the nude Picassos!
Stay strong!

What a beautiful sunset image you have taken! It may not be your usual style, but it is a joy to look at!

As you may know, Rob, I am rather shy of nude photography, but you have taken the human body and turned it into art that even someone like me can deeply appreciate and understand the beauty of. You are an inspiration, and I will forever be grateful to you for the lessons you teach through each of your images <3

Irgendwo geht die Sonne immer auf...
und Untergänge sind kein Ende.
7 years ago.
Taormina club has added
Eine Anmerkung noch weil ich dachte das da noch was kommt:
Was du da fotografiert hast ist nur Licht, keine Sonne.
Die Sonne war in dem Moment schon "wieder" hinter dem
Horizont verschwunden.

"Wieder" ... und noch mal ... und so weiter ...
Wie viele Sonnenuntergänge wir noch sehen...
zumindest ist wohl sicher das es weniger sind die wir sehen,
als die derer die es noch geben wird.
Und um noch mal "Klugscheissern" zu können...
die Sonne geht nie unter. Das sieht nur so aus weil wir uns drehen.

Spätestens jetzt lesen 80% hier nicht weiter....
das sind die 80% die nicht wissen was sie bei einem Sonnenuntergang
wirklich passiert... mit Ipernity ist es genau das gleiche ;)
7 years ago.
.t.a.o.n. has replied to Taormina club
aber katja, das wissen doch 80 % aller derer, die das lesen ! ;-)
bei einem "sonnenuntergang" handelt es sich um eine beibehaltene redewendung aus zeiten, da sich nicht einmal 0,8 % der leute, ob sie nun lesen konnten oder nicht (eher nicht), vorstellen konnten, dieses phänomen derart zu erklären, alle anderen nahmen es als "sonnenuntergang" wahr... heute ist diese bezeichnung eher als metapher zu verstehen und lässt sich sowohl literarisch als auch im normalsemantischen bereich trefflich einsetzen... ;-)

Got to say I was shocked to hear that your last image (.v.) had been censored Rob as for me this was art not pornography. I fail to see how it could be construed in such a way and I would plead with Team Ipernity if they are reading this to rethink their stance on such images.

I'm sure there are pornographic images on ipernity that could cause offence to some, but I genuinely don't think your work deserves to be treated as such. I hope you will continue to give me access to your Friends area so that I can continue to admire your creativity and be inspired by your creative processing techniques.

Best wishes

From what I'm seeing now, I think Ipernity is lurching backwards suspending accounts such as Modern eXposure Studio that presented tasteful nudes, censoring photographs that should be in Explore based on the site's algorithm that is impartial and objective and restricting viewing of outstanding digital works of art such as yours. I'm wondering if the IP team really is trying to force people to leave so they can find a reason to close the site.

.t.a.o.n. has replied to William Sutherland club
iper began as a real extraordinnary platform with features other platforms never had, it was unique. everyone found his place here, normal photographers and also freaks of any kind. but the more economical the thinking of the team got, the more they've been interested in restrictive behaviour, the "freaks" disturbed, so they began to practice mobbing, suspended accounts of artists...
a platform of this size gets lost in the shuffle if it hasn't something special, something exceptional, but exactely that the team is trying to smash out. they're digging their own grave and they don't see it...

Hymne au soleil

Je t'adore, Soleil ! ô toi dont la lumière,
Pour bénir chaque front et mûrir chaque miel,
Entrant dans chaque fleur et dans chaque chaumière,
Se divise et demeure entière
Ainsi que l'amour maternel !

Je te chante, et tu peux m'accepter pour ton prêtre,
Toi qui viens dans la cuve où trempe un savon bleu
Et qui choisis, souvent, quand tu veux disparaître,
L'humble vitre d'une fenêtre
Pour lancer ton dernier adieu !

Tu fais tourner les tournesols du presbytère,
Luire le frère d'or que j'ai sur le clocher,
Et quand, par les tilleuls, tu viens avec mystère,
Tu fais bouger des ronds par terre
Si beaux qu'on n'ose plus marcher !

Gloire à toi sur les prés! Gloire à toi dans les vignes !
Sois béni parmi l'herbe et contre les portails !
Dans les yeux des lézards et sur l'aile des cygnes !
Ô toi qui fais les grandes lignes
Et qui fais les petits détails!

C'est toi qui, découpant la soeur jumelle et sombre
Qui se couche et s'allonge au pied de ce qui luit,
De tout ce qui nous charme as su doubler le nombre,
A chaque objet donnant une ombre
Souvent plus charmante que lui !

Je t'adore, Soleil ! Tu mets dans l'air des roses,
Des flammes dans la source, un dieu dans le buisson !
Tu prends un arbre obscur et tu l'apothéoses !
Ô Soleil ! toi sans qui les choses
Ne seraient que ce qu'elles sont !

Edmond Rostand

Sais-tu mon cher Robert que ta création a été sur Explorer je l'y ai vue pas à la 1ère page mais à la 11ème page et qu'elle n'y est restée que peu de temps après mon passage.Je parle de la femme superbement traitée aux seins à peine nus....

Querido amigo : El arte, la belleza y la cultura siempre se llevarán mal con la administración. Siempre. Tal vez el temor a acciones legales de gentes pacatas, carcas, retrógradas y a la vez maliciosas obligue a nuestros poncios a ser un poco mogigatos. Seguro que son buena gente. Mucha gente nos privamos de subir imágenes de belleza incuestionable por el temor a la censura. Bueno, espero que nos sigamos viendo. Mi mas cordial saludo, felicidades por tus obras de arte y un muy cordial saludo. Eduardo.
