Thank you, Ian, for sharing your work so generously. And great work by the photographer, she's the yang to your yin. Or the other way around? You are fantastic team.

Oh sweetie, you're welcome! And thank you , she is a very good friend and indeed an incredible photographer who somehow knew how to bring out the very best in me. I'll tell you a secret, we had only just met face-to-face the day before (we've known each other here for a while) when I stopped to visit her on my recent trip. Thank you again! I hope you're doing well Hilde, and your night is a lovely one!!

I want to be poetic and explain how much this picture moves me, but such is the beauty that I have no words and no choice but to let my own silent tear trail down my face.

I this photo Ian!
I so look forward to getting on here each day, hoping you've posted another one! And when you finally have, my heart leaps, and all the waiting is always worth it! You never let me down!
As always: Captivating!
Chin up friend. You're better than them. He's just jealous because he wasted so much time getting the "ideal" body and sees more people entranced by yours.



So happy to have found you on here.
Your photographs are simply life changing!
And your humble, gracious being is so refreshing in a world of losers!
If/while you stop posting, you will be sincerely missed.

Love,
Rokkii

Retro-Grade1 In reply to Rokkii [2010-10-08 01:19:50 +0000 UTC]

Oh Sweetie!!

Thank you, with all my heart that you're by my side, your support means more than you'll ever know Rokkii! You're so sweet, and wonderful dear, and I never want to let you down!

My chin took a beating, but yes, it's up. Oh, and between you and I, it was a woman who left that comment. I know I'm not perfect, far far from, but that you see something if not beautiful, at least meaningful in what I do means a lot Rokkii! That's my only goal (and that of my friend Michelle who photographed me), to capture emotion and feeling. I can't imagine that my photo's would ever be life-changing, but that you said that left with tears and goose-bumps, thank you!!



My love to You Also,
Ian

Rokkii In reply to Retro-Grade1 [2010-10-08 01:41:11 +0000 UTC]

Well then, we can expect that she is a superficial gold digger with daddy problems! The important thing is you are beautiful in the world of art, which clearly she has no eyes for if she preferred the other photograph, which held no meaning beyond sex, which seems to be everything these days! I can't stand how many photographs are labeled as "artistic nude" and really are just NUDE without the art part, which is the FIRST word in the phrase they are categorizing it under.

However, you rise above and beyond and do true art with true meaning. Sure, you don't sell the image of sex, but what you offer is so much deeper: passion, loss, pain, just to name a few off the top of my head. All TRUE feelings felt in the heart, not a chemical reaction of the mind that fades, but lasting feelings.

And your photos are most definitely life changing. One great photo can change the world, so you have to at least believe your photos can change lives, because they are at the very least great!

Anyway, I wish you speedy recovery in that beating you took to your chin! The world is full of people who thrive on bringing others down. It makes them feel strong I guess. The strong ones though are the ones who grow strong through building others up. You have been such an incredible person to watch. Most comments I leave never get responses, not even a simple thank you! And you write paragraphs back, just overflowing with thanks. It's so incredible!

Thank you for making such beautiful art and sharing it with us.



You don't deserve her crap. And I suggest you forget what she said! It'll only stifle your talent, which is so inspiring.

This whole series is really wonderful. You have some kind of innate ability to pull yourself inwards and because of the leanness and suppleness of your body you're able to do it beautifully.

The focus on this one doesn't look as sharp, but as always, I love the lighting. Are you sitting on a sheet in the grass or something? This makes me think of Siddhartha Gautama.
