	Jock Sturges - Salon
		Sturges is drawn to girls and young women because the awkward perfection of adolescence is the most temporary state of all.
		The presence of the artificial is startling enough in Sturges' work; the photograph is the most playful and blatant metaphor for his work as an attempt to preserve his subjects in a pristine state.
		Sturges' gift -- and the thing that makes him seem so dangerous to some -- is that he acknowledges that, and has removed lasciviousness from his gaze.

		Given the controversy that swirls around the work of Jock Sturges, it might seem that I'm making a snide joke by juxtaposing his remark with one from literature's most famous pedophile, Humbert Humbert.
		But there's no way to write about Sturges without confronting the nudge-nudge, wink-wink snideness you encounter when you profess admiration for a photographer whose subjects are mainly nude adolescent and preadolescent girls.
		Sturges, who photographs the people and families he has befriended in the naturist communities of Northern California and coastal France, does most of his work in summer, the ripest and most transitory of seasons.

		Sturges makes most of his pictures in France,(and some in the rural 'hippie' communes of Northern California) and, as was pointed out in the play 'My Fair Lady' the French don't care what they do, as long as they pronounce it properly.
		Academic or metaphysical interpretations of Sturges are not wrong, but unnecessary; naked bodies, sunlight and a beach are about as elemental as things get, and it is this bareness we find startling and interesting and full of sensual appeal, whether male or female.
		How lucky we are that a photographer of Sturges' abilities has the courage and the visual skill to document a world delightfully removed from, yet still a part of, the permanently clothed world in which most of us have chosen to live.

	Jock Sturges - Salon
		I have to confess it makes me a little uneasy to be writing about the photographs of Jock Sturges under the heading of "Sex." Not because sex doesn't play a part in Sturges' work, which is mostly photographs of nude adolescent and preadolescent girls taken in naturist communities in France and Northern California.
		Even if Sturges' intentions weren't clear from his work -- and I believe they are -- it would simply be impossible, from a practical and technical standpoint, for his work to be either surreptitious or voyeuristic.
		And, apparently, many of Sturges' subjects have, over the years, become so familiar with his process that they are now able to act as his assistants.) Second, Sturges forms ongoing relationships with his subjects.
