His new scandalised self

hehehe…...good one Robert! That should go over as well as my Pervert t-shirt!

Classic Robert, made an impact already, I like how you left it untitled, it has its own title when you open it. LOL
xkc

hahahahaha!!!!

Gosh that was quick. Yay. So quick had no time to title it even. I can delete the title but I think I like it :P Thanks…cheers all.

Err, does that mean you’re about to disappear in a puff of smoke?

;)))) Chris ya neva no. Magic happens :))

Oh my god !!!!! excellent expression .. and excellent title too ! :))

OH … many thanks for the link on my journal entry .. and lots of merci for commenting :)

Thanks Marie :)) I have just sent you an email :)) I think you know why :))

:0)

That’s bloody awesome! I’m with Karen though – I think it works well without the added title, though that’s just an idea.

Thanks Paul. Maybe I’ll delete it then. Out of curiosity – What message do you get from it without a title?

Well, kinda hard to expain, but I’ll try! I guess I see his expression and his peering/voyeristic gaze as contrasted against the exclamation on his shirt. his expression to me is like some old conservative hag spying on the new neighbours “Oh Beryl, have you seen what is moving in next door…”. It’s like this guy is saving the old hag the trouble of reacting – he’s got the label out there and the reaction to go with it… Of course, I’m seeing the image through the eyes of well and truly ‘out’ guy, so I’d be interested to see how others might interpret things. Hopefully my interpretation made sense, too!

Yessiree it did. I like it too. Title is dust binned :) My take on it is multi fold – the scandal has moved on or evolved / the scandalised are now scandalising / pointing fingers never felt so good / the luxury and relief of moving past secrets and scandal but … can a new conservatism justify its shock at the existing world? Your take fits beautifully here too. I wonder what others see?

I like all your takes on it, particularly the scandalised are now scandalising, along with the pointing fingers never felt so good :) Hopefully some other people will share what they see.

I like this very much! Will add to my favorite for sure : D

Funny stuff Robert :)
I liked the mix of interpretations that have happened. It almost felt like reading his thoughts in subtitles when I first looked at it, but I really liked ‘the scandalised are now scandalising’ too lol!

Hmmmm humour and sexuality! What an interesting mix! Nice one Robert! :D

This looks like so much fun!
Must have been your reaction when you saw that fallen orchid!

Scandal is gossip made tedious by morality…...............Oscar Wilde

PS – you look much younger than I had imagined you to be! :D

You’ve done it again
It’s almost… no it IS.. a real life cartoon caption
Brilliant

Thanks folks. Very cool to come home to interesting comments. Cheers. It was a hoot to make this shot. Ahh had not considered the caption or subtitle idea at all – love it. Sylvia, I am not as young as I was and yet younger than I will be ,) Looks have, are and always will be deceiving – especially with photography (the ultimate complimenter) try over 40 and less than 50 :) In my heart?...literally anyone’s guess. These days I tend to forget how old I am – recently celebrated being one age then realized I was another – oh well :)

Well all I can say is you look good for over 40 and under 50! And I had to come back to read what everyone was saying, this is a very appealing shot, for many reasons. Love Sylvia’s Oscar Wilde quote too!

Thanks Mel. Yep…a classic quote by a class act :)

its remenicent of the soap opera greats…aka dorrie evans and mrs mangle oh yeah and
mrs krabbitz (bewitched) all great blind poppers!! the later not being a soapy.

great t-shirt !! does it make people do a double take when you wear it out !!
I love the boldness of it ! must be liberating to wear

lol – such a great expression, the shirt totally sells it for me! great shot :)

Thanks folk. Thats scary – a hybrid of Dorrie, Mrs Mangles and Mrs Krabbitz – eek :) Tamarama I dont think people know what to think or do most of the time, and by the time they have thought I am well gone. Parties are more likely and fun though if I am in the mood :) Thanks Heather.

Great portrait with emotion and reaction, from another over 40 and under 50 person.

;P Thanks Ricki

lol Robert….it’s a great portrait and a lot of fun:)

awesome Robert, classic shot!

Thanks Shanina and Emma. This shot has been so much more interesting to people than I expected. Its so cool that its gotten so much response :)

Unki Bob!! Love that T-shirt… I wore mine today, did I ever get the money for it to you??? If not I’ll have to give it to you when I see you.
Dave xox

I still keep coming back to this one. brings a smile to my face everytime :)

He he he. It’s the look my friend had when the hetro family with hoon teenagers moved in across the road. He would love this shot. Well done on so many levels.

Hey Dave, your back! Yay. Hey Paul – more smiles are just a card away hehe :) Ah the old hetero family across the road with hoon teenagers – Mrs Krabbitz would have kittens .)

great lighting and quirky humour…

I’ve heard it’s sapiens to be homo… :o)

poof, the magic wand, damn, it didn’t make me disappear

Thanks people. Nothing like a bit of quirk to get the blood moving. LMHO yup – its also very erectus to be homo these days Chris ;) Jessica – did you use the right end of the wand? :)))))

“more smiles are just a card away…” cheeky bugger aren’t you! Very true tho.

::))

I hope you are having a good break from the bubble, Robert, but I miss you so much, I had to buy this card to remind me of you :)

Thanks Mel – now you have me forever impersonating the Mrs Krabbits’ and Dorrie Evans’ of the world :))) hehe.You have now become my most current favourite person. xo

hehe fantastic! looked through all of your works – amazing the lot of it =D

fun!
