About the Nudes

Treasure this. I don't talk about my work very much.

Yes, another gallery of male nudes at a/k/a/Hunter. It's getting to the stage where you can now see some development of themes and images over time. The nudes, much more than the landscapes and the more formal works, represent a series of confrontations for me, with my attitudes, my hesitancies, my opposed tendencies to rebellion and being "the best little boy in the world."

You can also start to see some of my formal concerns operating: the "classicist" versus the off-the-cuff street photographer, the abstract formalism versus the happy accidents, the high-mindedness versus the near-pornography of some of the more recent images (the interface between the erotic and the pornographic has started to fascinate me). Going back through this imagery has been a real trip, and I think, after a hiatus of several years, I'm ready to start investigating some of these things agan.

It's been fun.*


* Except for the actual mechanics of getting the galleries online. Between them, Internet Explorer and Trellix Sitebuilder (which does not support Firefox) are a heady dose of virtual hell.
