What a potent story. Emotive and compelling. I'm very much pulled in. I see a call for mercy and a demand for anonymity. It is both revealing and hidden; vulnerable and powerful; a push and pull that all of us face in daily life in wanting to be known, while also fearing "known-ness." A kind of dialectic of human frailty and power. Both my mind and heart are captured by this image.

I find this to be beautifully framed. The pose is exquisite with it's lines. The contrast brings out some lovely natural textures of the models skin, too. Lovely.

Who is the model and what's the story behind this work?

I like how deep the concept and how you've captured it is. The lighting and how... pure the background is are quite potent.

Thank you. This was just a quick shot we did before I headed off to work. I told her about the idea and she just stripped down. I'm so glad she was willing to show this painful stuff. I only took about five shots. Amazingly, I got two that I liked.

You have my critique, pal. Moving stuff.

Your work is so full of story. I feel challenged to come up with something better than what I've been doing.

Wow! That's an amazing statement. I love when I find another artist that makes me want to try new things. But I think your work is brilliant just the way it is.

It is nice, but a bit bright.

Been waiting for you so long, little bird of prey.
To fly me higher to the brighter day.
Where the lizard lingers long under the sun.
Forgetting that night, darkest July Paris '71.
But you can't turn back the time, It always waits in line.

I like the poses. A bit unusual, but that makes them so much more.
