michael ezra 0 Posted July 31, 2001 This photograph was made about a year ago. Would you consider this image to be a representative of femininity? Would be interesting to hear your thoughts. Thank you, Link to comment
beth_creswell 0 Posted July 31, 2001 hmm. in response to your question... the tender lighting, soft curves, obviously female subject, and general 'feel' is feminine. the breast seems to be offered to the viewer, much the way women (to generalize) seem to proffer nurturing, generosity without demand, etc (at least traditionally in the roles we have filled among many others). the danger here, however, is that the breast is not only symbolic but functional, so the piece seems to have implications about woman's role as a literal nurturer...'here's my breast for your nourishment (or enjoyment).' i think it's a beautiful photograph and creatively posed. i'd be interested to take it back to one of my seminars back in college. very evocative of both positive and negative aspects of femininity and the perception of women.

tom_menegatos 0 Posted August 1, 2001 I think it's a great picture but to answer your question... I don't think it says femininity. I think it says breast. Or maybe nipple. Or if she has implants it says "If I put my hand here you can't see the scar." :) Okay a little too silly but that's how I see it. Great picture as always but bad title in my opinion. Link to comment

voets 0 Posted June 18, 2003 The open hand makes this photo for me. Otherwise it would have been "just a breast" Link to comment
