Images


PrOn?
These images are not of a child - though there might be a lengthy discussion about ' states of mind'. Can't say where they came from .. perhaps arrived via some sort of electronic 'inbox' .. heh.

Did, actually, have a long conversation with my conscience ..

Davo, you shouldn't do this - Oh? why not - It was an intimate moment in time - So? - It's not Right!! - Look, am trying to eradicate 'right' and 'wrong' from the vocabulary, there is only 'appropriate' or 'inappropriate', effective or ineffective, big words and difficult to say - Do you have permission? - Errrm, no, contact, both mobile and landline of both parties were disconnected some 12 months ago - What if someone recognises her? - Mm, well, have magnified the images and had a close look, will stake my entire worth on the fact that no-one will recognise her in street clothes - .. umm .. well ....
...


There is, in my mind at least, something extraordinarily beautiful about the naked female - or any - body; relaxed - and in repose; but since am also trying to make a point about "imagery" - am also posting several versions.

What do the differing versions "say"?

Of the three versions compared, the one at the bottom says the most. the facial expression is peaceful, fulfilled. the colouring is golden. the pubic hair is visible, making it a more sexual image than it might have been. I wouldn't call it porn. I wouldn't even call it voyeurism to enjoy looking at this picture. It tells---in outline only---a very private story. A glorious one. thanks for posting

That you have too much time on your hands?

Everything is in the eye - or mind, of the beholder Vincent.

Only have the same 24 hours as everyone else, wt .. heh.

Davoh said...

.. and you might be missing the point, here, Vincent. The pose of the person in the photos is exactly the same. have just 'fiddled' with the "presentation", a bit.

A "naked Maja" perhaps.

and yes, Vincent, there is a great deal of "love" behind this particular image. But what IS "love". What does it really mean?

Vincent said...

yes, I saw it was same pose, and yes it was that famous Maja pic that it reminded me of. As for what love means, I think only the person who uses the word can know that. It is always a private story!

Davoh said...

and that word, Vincent, is crucial behind any image or picture. Until we, as a society, really understand what it means .. we are, methinks, doomed into pornography.

PS ..the almost "Naked Maja" pose was quite accidental
