Whether he's snapping nubile girls with guns or taking one of his patented up-skirt portraits, Kern is on the cutting edge of erotic art photography.

Natasha... Hot? Damn straight... softcore porn... I don't think so. When youuse a term like softcore porn, you make it sound dirty. The majority would disagree. You must be one of those hypocritical right winged christians. Why? because God created those bodies and gave Mr.Kern the God given ability to photograph them.Nobody got hurt here. No one was forced against their will to be photographed. So sorry, please try again when you get off your God fearing knees.

Tom,you are not very bright.Before you lambaste with your trite and common liberal witch hunt,open an art history book and probe the definition and qualifications of art.
Crotch shots,breast shots,soft ladies undergarments,lacy undies,ahhh yes.Where would Degas or Durer be without them!!Rembrandt,Cezanne,Raphael,Leonardo and Rubens,I suppose they would be mere "right wing Christian nuts" to call that tripe what it is- softcore porn masquerading as "art"Which makes it even more tripe.Belongs in a PG-13 Penthouse."What good are 10,000 opinions when none of which are informed ones"-Marcus Aurelius

Between miek and Tom, I believe rocks have more brains. Both seem as if they were educated out of the back of a Hustler magazine. Vincint seems to be the only one with any real education and, by virtue of that education, the only one with a right to an oppinion. And don't give me that "You think you're better than me" crap. Everytime you tell someone (as I'm certain you do) "Shut up untill you know what you're talking about." You're saying the same damn thing. So, take your own advice and let the people who know something say something.
