I have recently been going through my body of work and wondering if there is a way to get any of my work displayed at a gallery. Most of my photos are very high def and high resolution, I have only watermarked and reduced the resolution for online sharing in order to help curb the thievery. I am located in San Francisco and wondering if anyone has any ideas or suggestions where or what gallery or venue might be interested in displaying a few naughty pics of a naked artsy French girl ?

The Hippie Girl Photos
Usually I am known for my tributes to the the Art Deco/Film Noir world but many may have noticed that I do delve into the ideals and values of the Counterculture and I do so with passionate zest. The world of flappers and witchy hippie girls is not that different, both were and are rebelling against stale puritanism and it's repressions. The flappers against Victorian/Edwardian lunacy the Hippies and Beats against the cardboard fakery of the 50s. I am both and so I celebrate both.... For those who enjoy the Hippie Girl photos I promise you there will be more.....
The Strange Girl.....
If you have followed me over the years, you will know that I am unusual, quirky, and often surreal, it's who I am. I cant help myself. As Summer wanes and August fades I think of Fall and of the approach of All Hallow's Eve and the witch in me gets happy. Today is 97 years since the passing of Rudolph Valentino, yesterday I posted a tribute to that effect. I am entranced to this day with the silent film era and the first snippets of celluloid immortality. I admit that for me, The Strange Girl touching his tomb and that history did have undertones of reverence mixed with intense sexuality. I would never be a modern groupie but back then I would have been insatiable. Just a snippet of lyrical nonsense about my thoughts today.... Back to life
Erotic Art is My Ultimate Anti Depressant
I often think that I do what I do simply because it gives me a sense of self in a world and reality that demands a total surrender of self. As much as we like to think that society has progressed the world still demands compliance from us, an adherence to a norm, a suspension of so much self and it demands it so we can do banal things like achieving subsistence. I mean how many of us can openly say "I have pierced nipples and I like to flaunt my tits and ass on the internet simply for a life affirming thrill'? We still have no freedom to do that. Half the population still cant show their nipples even on Facebook..... So when I get lost in the futile banality of the trials and tribulations of daily life I wander towards all things sexual and do my best to create erotic art that reflects my passions and my most intimate fetishes. These photos are equal and opposite reactions to what life throws at me and at us as a couple. It's a thrill to be a digital exhibitionist but at the end of the
The Summer of the Seventies
I have always been fascinated with the erotica of the 1970s especially Playboy and the beautiful women with lovely lighting and confident eye contact shamelessly flaunting beautiful natural bodies with a lovely sense of sexual aloofness. I've believed for years that I loved all this because it was a residual effect of my first exposure to erotica at an impressionable age. Erotica of these conventions was what I saw first coupled with the literary intensity of writers like DH Lawrence. These days I realize that it goes much deeper than that. For me the sexy stuff of the Hippie and Disco era is the stuff of flamboyant, fashion, great music, but it's also the stuff signifying a spectacular ownership and embrace of innocence. It was all sexy simply for the sake of being sexy, there was no political or moral statement there was just the awe of innocent discovery that can come only after the downfall of deep seated puritanical repression. They were called Flower Children for a reason because

Basically many are interested in having an exhibition in their rooms -- so making an exhibition in itself is not so much of an problem as you might think. Social centres, banks, community - church centres, television stations etc are quite eager to have pictures hanging in their lobby. Free arts centres too. Sure you have a number of them in SF. One key question is the money, if they have frames, and if they would pay you a little money supporting your print-making. If that is not an issue, even easier. So ask around at those places, esp. if you know some one there already, and you can gather "collection experience". Also cafes and restaurants might be interested. The events should go with a vernissage. Join a photo/arts club, they know people too, and make exhibitions.
Now. That works for my nature and people pictures. I love you and your pics but sure enough they are more special. I could imagine some clubs, discos would be interested. Arts centres. A courageous cafe/restaurant (chose the tamer pics). Lingerie and sexy clothing shops?
Now with that experience you might also ask commercial galleries (not sure if you meant that, too). Obviously, the hurdle to get in there is much higher, but if they see that you had exhibitions elsewhere, it certainly helps. Whats important to them is a portfolio at hand, in a folder or as a website. A great quality of the printed portfolio helps, but I assume its not essential, they see the quality even if the print is not perfect. Dont hope to make money with all that. Selling photos is difficult and you are great if you cover your costs.
I guess thats is my experience.
