    Bobpin,

    There's no ambiguity. Still the same division of the image into a deep zone of discomfort, really OOF and then an aggressive posturing, and unlike the previous beautiful female, rather passive, but challenging and attractive feminine form, here you remove any pretense of or need to consider any beauty whatsoever! This is now not an angry complaint, it's a full blown explosive, government shaking protest! It's existential! There's only one Chinese character symbol this time and that's in focus and nothing more is needed to make the point more forceful.

    This is a far more decisive image with no possibility for missing the point. For now we're as far from beauty as Tiananmen Square!

    There it was one man with a shopping bag stubbornly blocking and facing off a tank! That scene, seared in our public conscience, is re-staged by seeing your new work by a woman stripped down to her flesh and the dismissed in the haze of disturbed vision with just the lone symbol for one man protesting and, in a way, it all resonates to make us remember. There are those victims massacred with no accounting. Now others who's lives are stolen are hidden behind prison walls. This work speaks to all that.

    I appreciate you sharing your fine images.

    If art is about moving us, then you have succeeded!

    Thanks,

    Asher

    Bobpin,

    The news is great! He's released!

    Ai Weiwi, an outspken civil rights protagonist was jailed for "tax evasion" and is now out on bail! This allows him to communicate with the press. More of the story here.

    Your art was part of the fire that brought attention to his plight!

    Kudos!

    Still, more art is needed as a lantern to shine light into the hidden caverns where prisoners are forgotten!

    Now back to "Nudes!"

    Double-exposed neg



    Three from the 5x7 using the new Ernon 180/3.5. All at about f/5.6-f/8.

    These continue on from previous naked photos where there were shoes, or a patch on the hip. She broke that tiny bone in the hand and these marked the last day she had to wear a cast.

    The double exposure turned out well. Was this planned or a happy accident?

    I'd like to pretend it was planned, but it was a happy accident I'll no doubt try and repeat.
