Photographer Aaron Hawks walks that fine line between "art" and "erotica", especially if you like a little bondage or bukkake mixed in with your art nudes. Sometimes dominant, sometimes submissive and always full of personality, the female subjects in these surreal genre and figure studies are never exactly vanilla objects of lust. Living in emerging porn center Emeryville, California, Aaron's work represents many of the trendy currents in the Bay Area creative consciousness. Check out his "People" galleries and you'll see what we mean.- J. West
