Daydream1

...in the Cherry Garden...

Ha Tanya, I'm glad to have seen this one. Though it is very different in content, it reminds me nevertheless of the first image that you posted. It's very clever, very subtle in it's eroticism. Hum, are you sure you are not a man masquarading as a woman .. lol .. you seem to understand so well what makes a man's brain turn around in circles.

 

I also like your disregard for silly rules that some unimaginative people sometimes insist on. I am being dogmatic here, but I nevertheless dislike the attitudes of those that want to stifle innovation in art. Despite the lack of symmetry, sloping lines, missing foot etc., the picture in my mind balances beautifully, leaving the viewer eager to see more. It is a fundamental quality of eroticism, though do not misunderstand me, a photo can also be revealing and still allow one to dream. Nice work Tanya.

 

An afterthought regarding the ratings received so far. In my view, these serve to separate the men from the boys.

...strangely enough, John Peri understands and appreciates me more than anyone i've ever known. John! you are one of my best teachers, i've learned a lot from watching your porfolio. If i understand men well, it's from observing your work ;o). In reality, "men" runs away from me, i think i am too intimidating to them.

Tanya, I could only run towards you ... :-)

John,i am in training for another marathon, make sure you pack some extra Energizers ;o). Ah! whether i am masquerading as a woman or not, i guess you just have to wait until you photograph me... nude then ;o). Warm regards, Tanya.

Tanya,I love you work.Excellent portret in plain soleil.

Best regards - Janusz
