File this under the heading – there is no way to avoid all problems in the real world.
I have been doing some exploration for a piece I am writing on educational uses of the social image sharing site – Flickr. Somehow, in this process, I began investigating a project that had students submit pictures they had taken that showed angles. As I scanned through the collection of images, I encountered the picture of a nude woman. My first thought and I am guessing the reaction of some might be that this image had purposefully been tagged to shock others involved in the educational project. There was really nothing about the posture of this particular nude woman that seemed to fit the concept “angle” so the tag made no sense.
I investigated further and found that the Flickr site hosting the image offered artistic photographs – very few of which involved any nudity. I then took a look at the tags and description. Here is my guess based on the context – I think the photographer intended to use the tag “angel” and made a typing error.
