I'm not sure where to post this, so I'm going to put it in General for
now.. please set FUT's to an appropriate group.

First let me say this.. I'm not a prude, I feel most people have the
right to view what they wish.  Though when viewing Lego related things,
I don't expect to find something of this nature in the background.  Yes,
I understand it's Art, though I feel this is/was in very bad taste.
I'm referring to this picture on brickshelf
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=97890

Is there some way to contact this person and ask them to remove that
picture?

Well, I don't think this a case of bad taste. The folder is named "Sonstiges" and the subfolder is named "Dies und Das"; which is German for "Other\This and that". Based on the file names, I would syt the pictures appear to photographs of the guy's (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jan-02, to lugnet.general)

I think that this shouldn't be a big deal. Like Richard said, it's art, and the human form. Nothing evil or malicious about it. And as far as I know, the owner of this picture did not post any direct links to this picture saying "Come look at this!" (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jan-02, to lugnet.general)

You know I'll bet dollars to donuts that this person didn't even realize that the painting was in the photo. If it really irritates you I'd try getting the e-mail of Matthias Lausch from Brickbay and writing him to see if he would take care of the (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jan-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) I find it funny that whenever someone objects to something, they unwillingly bring a whole lot more attention to it then it would have drawn under normal circumstances! Kind of defeats the purpose in some instances! I respect Tamyra's personal (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jan-02, to lugnet.general)
