    Great shot…what! no change for a sugar hit and your wearing thongs…ouch lol!
    Fabulous light and pose;)

    Great use of available light! I sometimes find that whilst using a male model sometimes the “manliness” is lost in translation… this does not apply with any of your work at all. The masculine form and attitude is well preserved and whilst the style is so classy and artistic, there’s also enough testosterone captured that one just wants to sit in front of the telly and watch a game of footy with you! :D

    very compelling, the colors and light are so in total harmony and bring out deep expression. Very well executed!

    it’s like you’re standing in front of that soda machine NOT really trying to figure out what button to push, rather your mind is somewhere else entirely. love the natural light and the way it plays in shadows against the wall and the ceiling. Very masculine…but its the pensive mood in your stance and your profile that makes this one flat-out sexy.

    Love the use of the negative space, for me it gives the image perfect balance.

    Great image… looks you’re about to drop off them knickers and throw ‘em into the wash :))
    Very contemplative and I agree, you are NOT thinking about soft drinks…..

    There is a story here and everything about this image makes me curious to know about that story. where was he? where is he going? what could he be thinking? does he want something to drink or is he just looking for a place to lean for a moment -figure some things out. LOVE the negative space, stance & clothes. Fantastic, memorable image Paul, and you are looking quite fine as well…

    This image is just so overwhelmingly masculine it hurts!! What a pose, what fabulous light, what a location! The ubiquitious ice machine and drink machine combo never looked so good. I’ll join you and PLV watching the game :)

    I love this. I love how the image is split in two with one side of the image all dark. And I second Paul LV’s excellent analysis of the presentation of the masculine in your images…

    Wonderful stuff, yet again. Hope the road trip is going well.

    This so makes me think you have a moment of “freedom” – from everything! The low-slung, rolled-up jeans, the thongs although there’s tension in your toes, the open, falling-off shirt also rolled-up, your casual, waiting expression and pose – you look as if you’re staring off into space seeing nothing. What are you thinking, what are planning, where’s you head at? The light is almost “enclosed” in the space between you and the machine. Then there are two small points which break up the total blackness of the left side – the reflection(?) near the top of the machine, and the small patch of light under the front corner of it. Altogether, a clasic study of vulnerability and seductiveness – it almost makes me want to “soothe your brow”.

    Love the split in this image, the dark and light side, awesome comp, treatment and light. Looks like you are getting a lot of inspiration on the road :-))

    Dr Pepper, What’s the worst that could happen !

    You could fall asleep waiting for that damn machine to cough up the soda

    meanwhile back in the room Maris is watching 57 channels and there’s nothing on

    is that an Ice Box there, maybe you could just use that instead coz you aren’t gonna bet your soda or your $00:02 change

    don’t think you’ll be staying at Bates Motel again in a hurry, might as well go and have a shower

    Love ‘N’ Laughter Kriss

  • DarkHotel2 replied

    thanks Kriss, actually Maris walked past he lobby as tripod and self timer were being activated, all she did was smile and laugh as she usually does at all my images.. love and laughter back at ya!
