This photo is a woman from Papua New Guinea. It still amazes me in this day and age how prudish people can be when it comes to the subject of nudity. In some cultures, being topless is an everyday part of life. The photo here was recently posted on a photography site and it raised an unbelievable amount of controversy over whether such a photo is "appropriate". I was actually surprised. This is not a photo that would be inappropriate in National Geographic. In the end, the photo remained on the site and actually became quite popular. When photographing places, you can never forget the importance of the people.
