This is what I’m talking about! (Mine!)
Posted: May 31st, 2009 | Author: Tony Comstock | Filed under: Electronic Presentation, Learning to Love the Camera, Learning to See Playfully, Photographers We Love!, Privacy Considerations |I am still working out in my head how we’re going to be handling other peoples images here at CameraPlayForCouple.com. When you decide to give yourself to someone physically, you make that decision right there and then, for that person, for that time. Photos are different. Making a photograph carries with it a potential loss of control over whom you share yourself with and in what context.
So with that in mind, I am not posting a very very wonderful photograph from 13 Messages. Instead, and for now, I am posting a link:
There are so many things I like about this photo, so very many. But I’m going to save getting into that until we’ve worked out to my satisfaction a policy for posting other people’s photos that is consensual, non-transactional, preserves (as much as possible) peoples’ control over context, while hoping to also preserve the structural integrity of this blog.
So for the time being, click the link and enjoy this very wonderful photo. I defy you to look at it without being hit with a million and one ideas for photos of your own!








13 Messages’ photos have always intrigued and delighted me - they’re arty and playful and speak of love and lust in the most wonderful ways! “Mine” is particularly great.

Good luck with this new blog, you know I think it’s a great idea!
