I knew Amnon in the seventies and he occasionally did a promotional set for me. What people probably do not understand that the quality of his nude photography (I will not accept it as being described as pornography) was exceptional. He should be feted for his achievements, not chastised. What could be more wonderful than taking a beautiful woman and presenting her in the most tasteful, albeit erotic, fashion.

Much of Evangelical Christianity is very supportive of Jewish people. It would be hard to find more ardent supporters, even within Judaism.... Daniel Radosh is way off base.

There are many kinds of photography work I would not do -- I would not shoot an ad for a tobacco company, for example. But that is a different issue from judging another person based on their decisions. In this case, I think the fact they the developer is from New York and Jewish has as much to do with the problem as the fact that he shot nude photos. Who was it that said, He who is without sin cast the first stone? To the question: yes, of course it does.
