Adults only. If sexual art gives you a bad feeling, read no further.

I'm a long time lurker/learner/questioner on this list, announcing the publication of my 
fifth photo book, Vanilla Sex: Explicit Fine Art Photographs, available as a PDF for free 
download from http://www.michaelrosen.com

This PDF is a reprise of a 2005 show at the Center for Sex & Culture in San Francisco. It's 
my latest and best work. For me, "vanilla" means the spectrum of my community's 
sexuality; what we normally do. So, some photographs are of acts generally considered 
normal and standard (missionary position sex, for example), while others are of acts 
considered normal and standard only within the radical sex community. The 53 black-
and-white photographs are soft and romantic images of explicit sex that challenge the 
banality of pornography. And, check out the introduction by the preeminent photography 
critic, A.D. Coleman.

Think of this as an advertisement for myself and my work. For me, publication has always 
been about putting my point of view out in the world in the most effective manner. Last 
century, I chose printed books for sale; so far this century I choose a free PDF.

Support this work. Buy my art prints. Buy my books - Sexual Art, Sexual Magic, Sexual 
Portraits and Lust & Romance - from Amazon and other online vendors, or from me at my 
website, http://www.michaelrosen.com

I'm in San Francisco and am always looking for people to photograph - individuals, 
couples and groups - for a variety of sexually oriented projects. I pay and/or trade prints. 
Tell your friends!

Sexual? Yes.  Art? Hardly.  Just  a bunch of people showing us and each
other their genitalia.  No redeeming value whatsoever.
If Times Square were what it was in my youth, you could do a brisk business
in 50 cent postcards.  Evidently, (your slice of) San Francisco hasn¹t moved
beyond that.

BTW, the lighting sucks.
