Number three looks like she might have something to say once she's finished her raspberries.

re-action

My reaction is that this illustrates a general lack of class, sophistication and manners abroad in our whacked up society. It adds nothing but elevates dreck.

Is that a tripod in your pocket or........

The gal in the kitchen is definitely interested. Something tells me we're not seeing the best of that photo session. One of the best portraits I've seen in ages. Quite memorable.

Oh please snapguy. How about a little joie de vivre here. Le bon ton roule, sans nattering nabobs of negativism.

Some people like to forget that the dude who proffered "nattering nabobs" was, in fact, a slimy criminal who was disgraced, convicted and forced out of high office. The Natters were the good guys. Thank you for the compliment.

Sounds like a really old Marty Feldman sketch. He's a Renaissance painter with a classic model of the time. He asks 'May I paint you in the nude?'. She simpers, and replies 'But of course!'.

So he starts to disrobe.


I am not sure that this is not more stressful for the model than being photographed in the nude. It is not a recognized pattern of behaviour.

They are nice photo's but without the explanation not really special. No consistency guys in black and girls in colour. And it may be me but why those faces? Is it sooo horrible to see someone in the nude? Or shocking? I mean everybody knew what the photographer was going to do. It couldn't have been a shock? Or is that a difference in US culture vs Dutch culture?

The girl in the kitchen eating raspberries makes me want to try doing it in the nude.

Now there is an exhibition that I'll probably not attend.
