Description Daytime (or anytime) television will try anyone's patience.

You won't see this image there (it's just too shocking for the American viewing public). But you'll see every kind of misery being keenly exploited. After all, that's entertainment in America nowadays: "And we'll have even worse for you just after we sweettalk you into 'asking your doctor' for yet another expensive drug . . . "

Would someone please put her fist through the screen, or just toss the thing off the roof? (but watch out below--there might be someone with a heart passing by . . . )

Entertainment as an industry is very twisted, just as your pose is contorted and twisted. But, just like your real self, there are diamonds in the rabble.

Absolutely splendid my friend. I just love this image. I've linked to it from my tumblr page so that more people can see your beautiful work!

Thank you very, very much. I did read your journal entry, was debating with myself how to respond: was hoping you would consider including (some of) my pics, but didn't want to impose.

So, especially pleased to receive your message -- and honored!

I return that honor as I'm very happy to read that I'm still on your radar after all this time. You are one of the most remarkable artists I know of.

I was about to take it down [from my gallery walls, not by assassination!] - but I can't quite bring myself to do it just yet.
The whole composition reminds me that being human means never being "straightforward" is what we're about. Take that onboard, and nothing is alien to what we're capable of, thru a lens or not.
Beautiful and poignant

Naturally, I'm pleased you've 'reprieved' me. And very, very touched by what you say.

Thank you!

I love the pose.
The only thing off about this piece is the penis sticking out. I think it kinda makes the pose a little less emotional, but maybe that's just me.

Either way, great picture.

gfriedberg In reply to StrawberryR [2011-02-27 17:43:02 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for your comment, and I'm glad that, overall, you like it.

I do know what you mean re the penis, had 'reservations' myself, but it adds compositional interest.

There are two others where I've done likewise:

I guess so. I'm no art critic, I'm just a 15-year old Art Sophomore.


I'll go look at them

Great picture, excellent lighting. Useless rant. You greatly overestimate the IQ of the TV addicted public. Good luck getting people to throw the sets off roofs. Well, maybe if TV programs told them to. -J:

Thanks for your comment -- really glad you like the pic.

Re the "IQ of the TV addicted public": apparently it's not possible to UNDERestimate it.

another powerful pose; I wish your face was a tad lighter. how many shots did this take you?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

gfriedberg In reply to FrodoPrime [2007-10-09 23:23:46 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for your comment. There are six other 'versions' of this, at slightly different angles, and yes, the head and facial profile are lighter in some of those. The problem, as I perceive it, has mostly to do with the 'line' made by the forearm and the lower leg--it's less fluid/satisfying in the other images. Also the bulk of the body's less pleasing at less oblique angles. I could try again . . .

very deep i verry rarely watch tv i love your pic, the contrast of the lights and darks are very dramatic, and i like how he seems to be leaning away from the light like he is trying to escape it

As always, I'm so grateful for your encouraging comments--and so pleased about your completely GOOD day--I hope you keep having more and more of them--no danger of 'too much of good thing', I trust?
