I love my friends and their ridiculous beautiful spirits!!

**post challenge**

Wow.. so many thoughts about this photo.. which of course I love. My intention had nothing to do with the darker abusive things that came to some of your minds.. although I can totally see how you would have arrived at those opinions now.

This was an unplanned goofy moment during a shoot of another friend where we were goofing around with our props.. the thing over his face is actually a wig cap (not pantyhose) The horrible shirt I got as a gag gift for him from value village... The title sexytime was fitting because the shot is anything but sexy and this summer a bunch of us at the Europe GTG played on a bunch of Borat's phrases.. it was a ridiculous goofy fun moment in the evening and I liked the way the picture turned out.

As far as me being sick and twisted.. that makes me laugh.. simply because that is so far from the truth of my spirit or the spirits of my friends ;) Although each of the comments are appreciated and I enjoyed the fact that the image provoked an emotional response.. because thats how I tend to live my life.. I value the emotional.. This was fun ;)

not the direction I'd have gone with the title, but the model is certainly handsome and charming.

and to all those who read WAY too much into this - it was completely unscripted and nothing more than me being a dork. I was wearing the skull cap under a wig and came into the room with it pulled down over my face while Roz was doing a shoot in my studio.

Everyone's entitled to have opinions and share their feelings, but at least recognize it's your preconception that makes this offensive, not the photographer's or model's.

Weird and creepy, yet creative. I'm not sure I like it from the creepy factor, but the lighting is good as well as the tonal values. He needs a different shirt though - that went out in the 70's. Lol

lol soooooooo absolutely bizarre... one distraction is that there seems to be a little motion blur on the hand. very different kind of portrait!

If you were looking for comments then this is a way to get them. This image is disturbing in so many ways not to mention a total slap in the face to women and men who find these types of photos not fit for print.
I will hazard a guess that I'm not the first to be offended by your photo and I'm sure that I will not be the last.
Some people may applaud you for being brave enough to post something so controversial I however find it sick and twisted.

I guess I should leave a comment since I gave you a 3. I don't care for this photo at all. My first thoughts on this photo are "perv" and "why did he put this as his favorite photo of the month?" The title is giving me mixed emotions. So many women and children are abused by men and I get that feeling with this photo. If it is a joke..I don't like it.

Avg vote, That looks painful lol... which is one of the things that isn't appealing for me, its a little too un-natural (like anyone naturally walks around with panty hose on their head... well .. i do but another subject another time :P ) aside from the expression seeing the hand have to hold the hose takes away from focusing on the face and also reveals how the expression was accomplished.

How perverse! I like it!

This is creepy!!! I really like all the lines in the shirt. Maybe a harsh contrasty b&w would work better for this? It looks a little brown.

Unsual and so becoming! hehehe

Damn this is creepy. Really creepy. I like how sharp the pattern of the shirt is in contrast with the mask. It's a well-done photo but not easy to look at.

Unsure of what you want us to see, but kind of funny/odd. Shading and contrasts are nice.

Good photgraphy, but it's disturbing. I'm thinking that this is a victims-eye view of a rapist?
