Using the imagination, again... |

I've decided to try and get one picture each day with the blog entry. This daily pic will not necessairly be LF, most of them will be taken directly from my website or my archives, but I just like to present a picture every day to discuss my point...
Today I'm going a little further down the "mind's eye" road with this picture. The printed version is in 16x20", so the hand is larger than life. It usually takes a few seconds for people to take it in and undersand what it is. And when it dawns on them, they usually like it. It is an image that is a classic in erotic and nude photography, and everyone who has worked in those genres has, at some point, done something like it.
If the hand wasn't there it would be a very unmodest and private portrait, but the fact that you don't see the outside of the legs, the back of the buttocks, and that the hand is hiding any naughty bits, makes this almost an abstraction, even if the hand and the texture of the skin are very detailed. What this image doesn't show has to be imagined, and that's what turns it into an erotic image...
