New York is a magnificent city, filled with wonderful people. That is why I am here. It is also, like many other large cities, a place where some people have immense difficulty adjusting to the competitiveness of every day life.

Great work, John! You used the interiors of the apartment very effectively to create/produce the mood you wanted to portray with the image.... I am glad your trip to New York is turning out to be a very productive one.

Sorry, but in my opinion the picture should tell a story, not the author!

Too much words for nothing!

You express it politely, no problem. On the contrary, thank you for giving your opinion Folker.

Hello John... this is what I have always found missing in your photographs... a philosophical underpining and some intellectual and emotional depth. Most of your work celebrates that which is beautiful and light about women, which is certainly worth doing and doing well (and you have done it well for many years). I am glad to see that you explore other aspects of what women know and men wonder about (or the unlucky unimaginative ones, are oblivious to...)

Perhaps you have been quietly at this for years, and just recognize the vulnerability/subtlety in this type of artwork is not best understood/appreciated on photo.net.

Whatever your motives, thanks for posting this one, I'm glad to have stumbled accross it before the troglodytes arrive and you withdraw (wisely)... t

Tom, the first time I posted this I had to remove it. Firstly because someone rudely detailed out the model's anatomy, secondly because someone else then made a stupid and irrelevant comment, adding later that it was because of the moronic nature of my photo and the explanation that I gave for posting it. He then gleefully wrote to me still later to say that he would repeat this gesture every time I did this! I guess "McDonalds" is his nature and level of communication ...

 

I tried posting another one five min go. I was obliged to remove it because of someone's inelegant reference to the spread legs of the model. Unfortunately, that's all he saw.

 

About the disrepectful comments, maybe you could simply disaprove them and leave the picture?

I am new here so I do not know the regulars.

 

I saw this and liked it. I could see this in my world,- I have been this, in the state she is presented I could see a heavy sigh coming next. Would be in my world ...and this is now in my world.

 

Sir, I am sorry for the ones who choose to be rude - thank you for your work.

Thank you August. Unfortunately, it takes all kinds to make a world and, along with all the truly wonderful people, there are also those that suffer from pettiness, envy and self righteousness. What can one do - very little actually, other than try to ignore them. Thank you for your support.
