(evolved from a letter... thanks for your insight O)
The manifestation of privacy and slander is changing, paradoxically becoming more abstract and more personal at the same time. One of the best things about this community is the way the SGs relate to the image they present. It feels like a good and empowering thing. I like the way it reflects in their language and in the evolution of themselves as seen through their photo sets. It creates the core of the community we members create and enjoy. Just as we empathically feel embarrassed by seeing someone shamed, I feel pride in the models and members of this site; they are proud to be here and they are proud to be seen. It is palpable.
Privacy as we knew it - "person-the-unseen" - is quickly dying. Soon we will all be naked on the internet; physically, behaviorally, mentally. Because we will so rarely be unseen, control of image and the issue of how you present "person-the-seeming" as well as how you are able to respond to being "person-as-seen" may come to define the new sense of identity.
Things feel different, but is it all that different from how things have always been? What exactly has changed?

yeh, we wound up leaving early wednesday, though got to tool around toronto a bit and take a few (hundred) pics in the process, so all was good with the world.
sorry we didn't get around that way on sunday, i think we went the mellow evening route. it's all a blur after the white knuckle flight in a plane that was probably powered by bottle rockets, heh
