Comments on: What Do You Think http://www.marriedinohio.com/blog/2007/05/18/what-do-you-think/ The life and times of a happily married couple in Ohio.

I have to agree with the majority opinion. So long as we live in a sexobsessed and sex negative society you need to protect yourself. As I've been reading backwards in your blog I've thought that if I knew you I could recognize youi - (Ithink you showed your house in one) since as you say your faces aren't that pixilated (Peter Pan fashion?) As a photographer it seems a shame to destroy a large part of the emotional inpact of a photo by doing that though. Love your blog. yondan I know this is late but I’ll do it anyway.

You make some very valid points about unforeseen problems. The question has always been does pixilation provide enough anonymity to be worth the effort given the context of photographs, i.e. this blog. If you don't know us, you don't know us and if you do know us, we probably give our anonymity away with the text of the accompanying posts. Things are going well at work and I'm in a good situation right now. I am very glad for the advice. Thanks! Hot Husband: That's why we do it too. But now, after posting hundreds of pictures in various locations in our house, we wonder if our surroundings are so recognizable that we're not getting any benefit (anonymity) from it. Lapis Ruber: I'm way to old, etc. to get anything but insults if our photos showed up on a cheap porn site. And, although sometimes it's good and sometimes it bad, I'm "honest" enough in real life that there isn't much if anything here that I haven't said in real life. Rosie: We probably shouldn't be posting if we wanted to be super cautious. Google never forgets. We can't life our whole life in fear about what might happen; but we don't want to be stupid either. So, given that we've already decided to take the risk by posting, we're trying to decide where the balancing point is. Michelle: That's the point we're struggling with. If someone we knew saw our blog they would probably know it's us. So, are we really accomplishing anything? So far as the people who don't know us, we don't think much about them. We like to look inward rather than worry about people who we've never met. I'm sure that a handful of our photographs have probably been reposted. We don't think they are very noteworthy when taken out of the context of this blog; but, something is always interesting to someone, somewhere. Sue: We're questioning weather the safety we think we have by being "anonymous" is fact or an illusion. Truly being anonymous is safer; but we wonder if we really have any. You should try having a photo session sometime. The fun is in the taking; not in the posting. Dirty Debbie: If we ever became the subject of a horror story, we probably wouldn't post about it. We wouldn't want to give whoever it was the satisfaction. But we wonder if they would have enough "ammunition" anyway. To rephrase: have we played it safe enough that even matters? Mahogany: You are in the minority. Its 7-2 against as I right this comment. But, you do make a good point. How many 40-something interracial couples with two kids, have an in ground swimming pool and run marathons that live in Ohio do you know? The combination of kids/family, home and lifestyle is unique enough that we probably wouldn't be truly anonymous even if we never posted a singe picture. B: We think so too. So what we're wondering is weather the pixilation is useful for the people who don't know us; or if would be helpful in some way if someone who know us came across our blog. Everyone: We want to thank you for their opinions. I know that I am late in replying because of our anniversary weekend but we really appreciate the comments.

I would be more interested in seeing new poses where your faces aren't necessarily exposed. You're a very disctinctive-looking couple and the degree of pixellation is already slight enough that we can already see your facial features. I don't see anonymity as being an issue since you're already out there - and that's why we love you! It looks like I’m in the minority here but I don’t think you need to pixellate.

The only pic is the banner,and my face is half hidden. I say, better safe than sorry. I'd hate to hear one of the horror stories about you.

I would leave my face covered. I think as far as you two go that is a personal decision. But do think it's safer to keep your faces covered like you have been.

In a lot of your pictures, even though your faces are pixellated, if someone you knew saw your blog they would probalby know it was you. However, it probably offers you a degree of protection from those who don't know you if that makes sense.....And from those who might be disrespectful and post your pictures elsewhere.

There is really no need to show your faces; not doing so gives you just a bit of security. Isn’t it wiser to err on the side of caution.

Pictures can easily be clipped. You wouldn't want recognisable pictures of you and your wife being shown on some cheap pornsite. Keep Pixillating.
