Description
When the Greek gods wanted to punish conceited Hercules, they threw him among the claws of Omphale, a noble lady who kept him as a slave at her home. In order to humiliate him and show off her power, she forced him to wear women's clothes and do houseworks that were generally attributed to females. Hercules' disgraceful servitude was strangely intertwined with sexual submission, against which he could not revolt until the wrath of the gods has eventually calmed down.Special thanks to Mr Peter Skype for the help.

oh this one's great.
it really has the certain degree of
dynamics an image with your type
of humour and expression needs.
you know, what i like a lot about
your images are the eyes and looks
of your models. and even though the
male's eyes aren't visible, the viewer
can guess his looks through his pose
and through the female's looks.
i like it a lot that the dynamics don't
seem to be taken in movement, but
rather planned dynamic shot still...
kind of.

Thanks!

oh my cod, is that a protective piece or a misplaced bedpan!? love your attention to detail miss saturninus. the nike wristband is a swooshing touch as well. i just get the feeling that at some point i will [hopefully] get an invitation to an opening night to one of your plays or movies. please make it sooner than later because i'm getting old.

It is as protective as can be.......
I am glad that you discovered all those details. My personal favourite part is also the wristband, as a last token of manhood for poor Miss Hercules (who is played only by misfortune by me, because the dress didn't fit on the other Mr who was present).
You have already missed the premiere of a play of mine, but it was several years ago and it was quite a fiasco, so I'll wait until I get rich and famous, when nobody dares to say that it is not good.
But if that happens, you will be in the first row, and I expect your honest applause.
Thank you!
[as for your request for the illustrated Constitution: the demand has been registered, but I am still not sure if you really want to get the printed version by mail: it is entirely in Hungarian, and it was the first time I used PhotoShop, so it is more fun than a quality piece. I would rather send it by e-mail, if you are really interested, or just leave it as it is, resting in peace on my winchester............]

well since you're were wearing a dress, i would assume there wasn't much left to protect anyway...
i missed it?! well okay, i can wait until the rich and famous days. they shouldn't be too far off.
[email if you would like (fredfreeland@earthlink.net) although i don't think you are in my address book yet, so you won't get through my "don't even think of spamming me" block i have until i approve your worthiness. you should only have to go through a few rounds of discriminating evaluation tests though. or if you are not happy with it, leave it resting. it's up to you of course.]

I tell you what.
I can write it on a CD for you, and send it by regular mail together with other assorted bits and pieces of life around me.
All you have to do is write your postal address in a Note and send it to me....

Köszi!
Örülök, hogy tetszik. Én is nagyon szeretem ezt.
Az egyetlen hiba, hogy a szuszpenzor (!) összeolvad a vasalóval.
[egyébként az biztos, hogy transzvesztita sosem leszek...... irtó kényelmetlenül éreztem magam ebben a cuccban....]

Oh yes, irons are hot.... otherwise you couldn't use them.
Thank you!
[now all you have to do is get a Hercules that matchs your iron]

nice concept.
the shirt is freaky, looks like a wallpaper. reminds me on this one: [link] ).jpg
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
If only it had been a shirt...... it was a dress, actually. Very uncomfortable to wear.
Thanks!

Oh wow, I would give half my kingdom for a shirt like that! But only if that room comes with it as well.

This is a really beautiful photography.
First, it's really good quality and contrast between Helcules and Omphale is well done.
As hbynoe said, encorporating your general knowledge is a good point. More interesting than "photographer : me / model : me / motherfucker : me" ...
And your photo has a real story, this is not just an idea that came.
However, the women could seem angry or vicious. there's something with her expression ...
But it's a really good work !
Congratulations

Thanks a lot, L0u!
Well, Omphale's expression is really static and artificial, but it didn't really bother me because I wanted to preserve something of the classical setting, once I have already changed every single feature to modern elements. And classical images often show expressions like this.
But what you said is true.
Thanks, again.

You're welcome.
Keep on goin'.
Love your work

Thank you, Holly!
I know that this may even seem snobbish from my part, but I am always captivated by these stories, and I definitely want to make my own version of them.......
[the strange thing is that these ancient stories never lose their actuality]
And oh yes, unfortunately poor Hercules is not as muscular as he used to be..........
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ha ha
still i mean you can always go in an manip the
muscles
but i like him
bony and tall
cause well he is defeated
so it is a great trait
lovely again dear andras
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh no, I am only willing to manipulate my muscles with natural methods (e.g. push ups)
Thanks again!

yes, although I didn't really want to do it... but the dress didn't fit on the boy I selected. That is why he had to push the button.

awwwwww 
yeah i solved the shutter thing and got a remote
i have yet to use it
i have a problem sleeping
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My problem with sleeping is that I can't get enough.....
I am often using the "retarded shutter release" (if that is what it is called), but this time we had Mr P.S. around so we could ask him to push the button.
Thanks for the compliment!
Skiny Hercules, hehe
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
never forget the first one
lol
yeah the shutter realease..blast that
and as for sleep
i have become nocturnal
i have to force myself to stay away for three more hours
so i can shoot
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yes, the shoot where I should have had the lead role.......
Nocturnal life can be fun!
I want to visit you on the Caribbean, you know.........

yeah that thing sent me crazy
and it was brillaint
it was better than i thought it would be
but i think it faded fast cause the actor thought
he was fat
in it
and pissed me off
that someone couldn't look at him or herself
objectively esp when it is someone else's character
