Nakedness is in the eye of the beholder

The mask

“I hope you don’t think I’d ever do anything like that, I mean, just step out of the drier, if anyone were seeing me. It was just viewing.”

“Same thing, isn’t it?” asked Baley.

“Not at all the same thing. You’re viewing me right now. You can’t touch me, can you, or smell me, or anything like that. You could if you were seeing me. Right now, I’m two hundred miles away from you at least. So how can it be the same thing?”

Baley grew interested. “But I see you with my eyes.”

“No, you don’t see me. You see my image. You’re viewing me.”

“And that makes a difference?”

“All the difference there is.”

For many of you the above passage would be familiar, it is from the novel “The Naked Sun” by Issac Asimov where the hero has just initiated a Sci-Fi equivalent of a web-cam messaging with a beautiful murder suspect.

Are these ethics still science fiction?

  • Nice Bodyscape Tarique Sir.. The use of the mask enhances the image

    • Thanks for the compliment but why “Sir”? have I done anything to offend you;)

      • Oops.. its a word of respect on your PHP coding skills and the Photographic talents

        • Thanks again, but this is LJ and not a Classroom:)

          And believe me all my skills except those not yet known are grossly over-rated

  • Beautiful. Very classy. And I am no fan of bodyscapes…but this one is really well done.

    • Thank you very much ma’am

      >And I am no fan of bodyscapes

      You have made me curious…
