Hi Yes there are quite a lot of phallic symbols around us... my telephone, my pen and the sexual implications of the diesel engine are obvious and when my wife wants sex (she does not speak English) she puts her fore finger through her thumb and curled finder on the other hand. Her word is "neki" I think, which means "into". They also use the normal word "fucken" or "fuck" which is not a swear word there. I think it can also mean "rape". However the pen, the telephone hand set and the diesel engine were not invented by sex maniacs as psychiatrists would have us believe and as for the long telephoto lens... I did have the photographic assignment once of photographing ladies bottoms at various stages of oestrous and also the human sex act. I recall we had lighting and lens problems. We also photographed the defecation process through a glass window in a toilet for the text book and childbirth and the woman's bottom during 9 months of pregnancy. It caused huge problems for me with the psychiatrists. I got the impression that the doctor and the psychiatrists are sex maniacs. I was married at the time so it did not mean much. They thought I would be excited by viewing my naked wife, but this is quite normal for my household at the time but they could not understand why I was not excited. All my marriages broke up because of the interference of psychiatrists as my latest one has been. I am sad. The other symbol we are sensitive to is the female organ like an orchid and the bust. We like disc objects with points on like mountains and churches with domes. I suppose the mosque (shell - Arabic) is also a woman where we can shelter as in the womb. Pity my latest baby died. I think it was a prescription drug that the doctor gave it and it nearly killed me too. But I do not know what killed him because he was healthy. I am sad. Chris. -----Original Message----- From: owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Palcewski Sent: Sunday, January 15, 2012 10:33 AM To: List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students Subject: Re: PF members exhibit on 14-01-12 Hans Klemmer - Fleur de mer In Italy it's frutta da mare, and I'm thinking that if you had not provided a tile or a caption, very few if any would identify this flowery collection as fish. It's an esthetically pleasing composition that does not rely on familiarity or recognition of subject. Trevor Cunningham - erect structure Whenever I see a Freudian phallus I remember a joke . Guy goes to a shrink who give him a Rorschach test. The shrink raises the first inkblot and asks, "What do you see?" The guy says it's a naked woman lying on a bed with her legs spread. The next? The guy says it's two lesbians having sex. The third? Two guys having sex. The shrink says, "Obviously you see sex everywhere you look." The guy replies, "Hey, doc, you're the one with all the dirty pictures." Rob Miracle - Halos and Horns In the 1800s Julia Margaret Cameron produced a number of dream-like allegorical and Arthurian images, which weren't widely appreciated. I think this image is way too detailed and harsh to work as a dream or a metaphor, especially when at the bottom there are credits for the author and stylist. Dan Mitchell - Malcolm Photo manipulation works best and succeeds when it's not detected, and in this case the severe dodging of the face is all too obvious. If it were darker and more sharply focused it would be more effective. Also, were this mine, I'd be inclined to crop off some of that wasted black space. Yoram Gelman - Winter Walk I'm very familar with and deeply love Central Park in all seasons, but for some reason I can't quite articulate, this representation leaves me cold.
