What is with this forum? Everyone's chopping off body parts left and right - and top!

But that fill light is really amazing.

John, most of us are posting from prison. We're doing time as ax murderers.

The light is amazing. The mood is wonderful. The symmetry works beautifully.

Fill light is from the bathroom... t

Lynch enough for you, Jeff?

-- tom meyer (twm@mindspring.com), July 09, 2000.

Yeah, I think so.

Hey, did I ever show you my photo of David Lynch's bedroom? It's not a people pic, so here's a link instead of putting it inline - click here.

Well it's not really Lynch's bedroom, it's my hotel room in Merida, but that was the first reaction I got to it.

Yours reminds me of Something Wild which I just saw mentioned somewhere else. I'm just waiting to see who shows up in that room.

What a strange home he has...

-- Jeff Spirer (jeff@spirer.com), July 09, 2000.

It is quite important that the womans head is excluded. Awakened / aroused, she is making her choice, and to be sure, one of those beds is going to be disappointed. Thus her head or mind already informs the picture, and to have included it would be superfluous.

I like the way that one beds cover is slightly wrinkled, while the other is smooth. Not least as the woman has probably arisen from the wrinkled bed, and has turned her body towards the smooth bed, this strongly suggests someone (an older husband?) may be rejected soon in favour of a younger lover.

I must admit that the winter mentioned in the title does not come across to me ; the light in the picture is more associated with the bonking of late spring/early summer.

One more comment, pertinent or not I don't know ; I think that the clock visible by the wrinkled bed also adds to the feeling of time ticking away on that side, against the other side where time / age has not yet become an issue.

I used to spend much time looking for oppositions that provided structure - you know, raw/cooked, honey/ashes, etc. so forgive me if this is at a tangent.

let me see if i can simplify my response to this image: wonderful light, great job of capturing the proper exposure, world class ass.

THAT'S IT!! The missing element in my life experience... LEG-WARMER FETISHISM!

fw, your interpretations are always a revelation to me, let me do nothing to discourage your efforts. This to me is one of the most valuable reasons to open images to criticism. My close involvement with this image (all of them, actually) sometimes blocks alternate interpretations and even literal specifics. While I noticed the disturbed bed, it had no significance other than indicating the "realness" of the moment, and forebode impending action of a presumeable (!) nature, given the setting, and (tone and color of) the light. I think the clock might be a glass of water, care to reinterpret (aqua vida?)...

Cropping her so, is necessary to avoid the possibility of an interpretation in the "Boudoir" genre.

The winter title is for the thermal underware/rustic cabin/firelight-ish quality, and to contrast "Summer Afternoon (Erotic Aftermath)".

Wayne, I thank you, and my wife thanks you... t

One other aspect of this image also appeals, and supports my interpretation. The slight asymmetry of the two beds resembles a scale, which is slowly tipping in favour of the smooth bed.

Glass of water, hmmmmm, age, hmmmmm, perhaps that's where she stores her false teeth? (Only kidding)
