For those of you in the Southern California area with a wish to see what
all this "fuss" has been about: The Paul Kopeikin Gallery (138 N. La Brea,
Hollywood 213-937-0765) will be having a Sturges show next month.

Me, I'm not fond of his work. I find it too voyeuristic. While I may
question his stated "innocent" intentions: I'm positive the viewing
public's thoughts are far from "pure" when seeing his work. It is, to 90%
of the public, erotic photos of children and young teens. That being said,
I find his "censors" much scarier than this his photos.

Earlier in this thread, someone suggested that he did platinum prints. I
don't think this is true. I have only seen "warm toned" silver prints.

While you are at the Kopeikin Gallery you can ask to see some of my work,
and I believe another list member's: Kerik Kouklis.
