ah, my bad, maybe my comment didn’t go through somehow :x oh well, it’s better that way because my first one was too short and I thought you took it wrong. Never meant anything negative ^^

o_O?

I’m sorry, but I don’t think I ever saw that comment. I also checked my span filters and couldn’t find your comment.

I think there must of been a misunderstanding =/

I haven’t had to delete any comment that wasn’t spam, and even if your comment was harsh, I still don’t think I’d delete it.

But anyway, thank you for your comments, I don’t even mind if it was negative comments, just means I get to see what reactions my photos recieve :3

sorry for whatever I had said that made you not approve my comment, I really didn’t mean anything by it. honestly I think it’s pretty lame that they made you take the photos down and from what I did get to see it looks like they were great photos. I just think you did what’s best in the event of complaints by removing them, best to comply with their wishes then face some kind of unwanted backlash, even though it’s a shame it had to be done. I apologize if my comment before was too short, rude and seemed to be negative towards you or your works, that wasn’t my intention at all.

@Adun, I’m also surprised that they found it lol, it’s been over a year! I’ve come to realise that moé isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, so they prolly didn’t think highly of it, along with the weapons.

Outdoor shoots do take time, you basically summed it all up. You’re right tho, I prolly should try indoor, but the problem is space ^^;;

@Koshiko, That’s exactly what I thought, they could of asked nicely first…

Rainy days are the best tho! (after it rains)

Aww, that’s such a shame u_u~

I think it’s fine to ask you to take the photos down if they found them inappropriate, what I don’t agree with is the manner they did so =/ A simple please and thank you would have been enough for an initial contact.

If you’re feeling discouraged from outdoor shots, maybe take the chance to set up your own mini indoor studio xD. You’ll have a back for rainy days that way too [not that we have many rainy day, lol].

Now that is something I find very strange. The fact that it is a public building shouldn’t stop you from having these images up on the Internet as these are personal images. Although content wise it may be questionable but personally I don’t find it offensive at all. Actually I’m surprised they came across these photos in the first place, lol.

Outdoor shoots is something you have to have free time for. If you add it all up you have to pack your gear, travel to the photo location, setup your gear, take photos whilst adjusting for specific conditions, pack up your gear, travel back home, and process them. I myself haven’t done any figure photography since I don’t have time myself and weekends are my only free time to go outdoors. But still, don’t give up hope. the way I see it is that you need a break and try some indoor ones.

Thanks Rin~
I’m pretty sure it was just because of the loli pantsu, wielding huge weapons…

I feel none of your photos are offensive…
I don’t think doing a figure shoot is offensive…not sure a pantsu shot of a plastic figure is considered offensive…
Offensive is to cause anger or hate for something…I don’t think your photos cause that…
I do wonder why aren;t you allowed to post pictures of a building of some sort as a background for outdoor shoots…if I read your post correctly…it says that your not allowed to have pictures of the Shrine of Remembrance…it’s like saying your not allowed to take pictures of the building…they should at least have a sign that says that…no photos…
Where I live…people don’t really care…
It’s a really weird email followed by something like your photos are insulting and offensive…what does that have to do anything related to them…I wonder what so insulting and offensive they find in the photos…

I’ll be also waiting on your new photo shoot too!!!!!
Don’t lose hope on outdoor shoots…just don’t do them near that building!!!!! I love your outdoor shoots!!!!!

Thanks Julie, means a lot to me that people actually enjoy the photographs I’m taking. I really appreciate the comment <3

I would normally leave them up, since I don't really see the difference as well, but the main reason is that they were apparently insulted enough to send me that nasty email. That hurt me more than the legal crap they said. I was pretty proud to be an Australian but with all that is going on my faith has waned, then they hit me with the email. When people ask me what the Shrine means again, I dunno if I can answer truthfully anymore.

Next thing we'll have to deal with is the thought police >.>
