from: "when man became metro-sexual"

[ejd]

Interesting. Is this intended as a progression? Is he becoming more metro-sexual as the series progresses, or does he start out metrosexual? He looks more natural, less polished and preened, at the beginning, and much more like a glossy advertisement for something, but of course he is almost immediately -- in the second image -- into a bit of body-building. And what, if anything, do the plasters on the nipples signify?

thanks alot stuart :-)

ya - "high on himself... theme".. so true struart.

i think my mistake and u r rite - it is SE indeed nit SL. but it is 68 for sure. i know the owner very well. he talks about his car as enthusiastically as leica owners about their cameras:-)) it happens sometimes, that i meet him in the custom taxes office many times, while im releasing my orders from germany or england of photo-materials (not everything is avaliable here in israel anymore with this digital era in photography) and he releases his orders of car parts and fixings from germany :-)))))) so we alwsys have conversations :-))
he doesnt gives anybody to drive this car. he loves my crazy driving, but doesnt even conciders to trust me the car (especialy because of crazy driving :-))))))

hhow do u know in such details the carrs - i guess u r enthusiast as well :-))))))


john ......
well, i concider it as he is always metro sexual, and the progression (which indeed exists there ) is more about how i explore the theme. as u noticed, i "shoot" here in different directions at once indeed.

about plasters - ya, it is only part of the full body of work on this theme. plasters, and for that matter, the photos where he "washes his shirt etc" are a bit like saying/asking: - "whats next... in the dialectics of history.. should man become and take the historic/classic/ancient role of the woman as the next step in the dialect of gender status development/changes???". :-))

Nice parody. It's like Tarzan, Popeye and a male model mixed in the city. Fun stuff, he can show his grandchildren these when he's old.

The two without the tits stand out for me a departure from the norm plus the hanging the threads to dry image, the rest would be enjoyed by randy 40 year olds (Men amd Women), the boys from the lane and 16 year old school girls

i think i got your point immants....

u have some problem with the too much nudity i those photo... well i was in big dilema with i have to admit. the bigger and full gallery is slightly more balanced, but still many nudity (as u say or the way i understand your words).
it is one of the MISLEADING elements (im using misleading elements alot generally).

about 40 years man and woman (i didnt think about it myself i have to admit), but about the boys and girls, ya - it is deffenetly adressed there. not that i speack with them through the pictures, but im speacking about the model (what the model represents there) as a boys and grils u talk about :-)))))))

ah, sorry immants - didnt understand your comment about no tits, and dry.... ?????

[stnami]

Translation
The two images with the tape over the nipples(without the tits) have potential in that the concept can be expanded upon, same with the image of him hanging out the clothes (threads) to dry.
The rest of the images have been resolved and well they are ok and suit the following audiences, randy 40 year olds (Men amd Women), the boys from the lane and 16 year old school girls.
Eventually me and Rob will convert your English into 'blokespeak"

ah - sure about the tits, i will uplaod it later to my webpage, so u will have wider look at it. i also love this photos very much as "stand alone" ....

about the others - that i clearly understand from the first time :-)))))))
