    To all the critics,

    Context is everything. Does the title: “Make Love Not War” mean nothing to you? Does it not set the context? I see a lot of prudish people, who see nakedness as sinful, assuming a far different context and criticizing this series as sleez used to glamorize war. It was as obvious as day to me that there is a far deeper statement here. One that resonates with the peace movement of the ’60’s from where the title originates. Consider that some of the most violence cultures are also the most repressed, where women are wrapped from head to toe. If you really look deeply at each photograph in the series, rather than skimming through it and reacting impulsively to bared nipples (DEAR GOD NO!!), you will see tools for death and destruction (ie soldiers) reshaped into peaceful fun-loving human beings. Nothing obscene or graphic is even occurring. Just camaraderie between men and women. Friendships. A soft kiss here. A shared look. The power of love triumphs over hate/war.
    If only all the soldiers of war on both sides of the battlefield could be given the choice between love and war.
