The blurred bootay you see sprinting across the Metropolitan Museum's display of ancient armor belongs to Kathleen, AKA KC Neill. This was the second time this week that photographer Zack Hyman made news with naked girls, though he was not arrested either time. Earlier this week he was spotted photographing them on the L Train. Hyman's models usually practice a "drop and snap" which until now had helped Hyman and his models to evade arrest. The guard at the Met was too fast for them this time, just after Neill put clothes on, and began to exit she was detained to wait for police. I can't help noticing he allowed her to continue the shoot until she put her clothes back on. Coincidence?
Zack Hymans felt he had a waterproof excuse now, of all times he's photographed nude women. Hyman asked, “Why is this wrong? There were thousands of people in the Met today looking at nudes as art, but as soon as there is a real nude, it’s a big problem.” Kathleen Neill posed the same question to the guard detaining her. The guard's response? “I had to make sure that girl was turned over to the police.
There were little kids in here watching the whole thing.” Oh, the children! We presume they were also viewing the nudes in the museum as well, but back to our vigilant guard. “She told me there were naked statues everywhere, I said,‘Those statues are 400 years old. You’re from the 21st century."
Good luck Kathleen, the lesson seems to be that when you're four hundred years old it will be okay to show your nude body in public as art, until then you're not artistic, only lewd.
