I think I'm pushing it here...and this is the only place where I am prepared to try this out....

You can be brutal...!

It's intriguing - I'm not sure what to make of it. It would be interesting to see it printed large, nicely framed ( black frame, white matt ? ) & hung in a quite modern minimal apartment. ( Or one of the Case Study houses that Julius Schulman photographed ).

Thanks for posting the image - it's got me thinking.

Hi William, It looks to me like some of the stuff Josef Koudelka did. The difference was that Koudelka was trying to make a political point.

Nowadays, anything goes! Keep pushing it! Never stop!

This works and might work even more strongly if there was some motion with this, but as is, it works, just not for everyone.

Thanks for the comments! I'll keep going!

Does anyone else see the female form in this one...? Err...the "breasts" would have the antennae on them...
