Description
Crap, hope to hell I'm not submitting this twice...once would have been bad enough. Anyhow, now and then commenters will seem to confuse one of my models with me (if only that were true in real life!) So, for the record, this is me.Related content

Dunce? I think not, Paul. This is a wonderful study of a very interesting and beautiful man. The relaxed body and pensive face with those remarkable eyes has great power. One wants to wake in bed with you and squeeze your hand so you know you are not alone. One of my favourite photos on this site.

YOU
are beautiful...
I'm captivated my your words and images...
the thoughts you provoke.
if i had to, i couldn't pick a favorite out of all your visions...
but this picture of the face behind the camera - it would come the closest.
(i'm such a dope...)

ah, crap, i forgot. i remember once in your journal or on a deviation, how you said were limited in taking 'nude' photos. and how since its a guy it would be put off as 'obscene', which is bogusly rediculous to me. i think if its something you would like to look forward to(?) or show, or portray, then you should ask an administrator, or take it to the effect of talking to one of the 'nude' photographers and such. your art is art. art should not be held back uhm, im limited on them though. i know *flesh-n-color has done several or more, one male recent and various female. sorry
good luck with that too

i wanted to type this out before i forgot it
you really are a very nice photographer, and all of your photographes always remind me of something very tropical, or the beach boys, or california itself. you really capture the spirit of things in general. your tap dances in photoshop are very sweet, and i think you are doing well in what you make with those
now for what i wanted to really say. this is one of the few photographs youve taken that seems sort of...out there. and its because its your photograph maybe? i hate taking photos of me, but i love everyone else. and saying youre a dunce, is like putting up a wall, for in case someone says something bad. at least to me it seems that way, because i do very often. i was the little kid everyone poked at, because i was the weird girl i know otter doesnt live that far, why not take him up on a photo session? and smile hun! you look so sad and in discontentment. i know you probably smile constantly and love it. let otter bring out your beautiful warmth, like you do all these other peoples
take care

This is my fave of your gallery. While the others are posed well, great lighting etc, this is more of a moment captured. You look quite shy and unsure. The head tilted, eyes refusing to meet. Very elegant work even if from your remarks you are not "happy" with it. I think it actually adds to it. If a man does not question himself from time to time, he is a blind man Nice work indeed here.

Never underestimate yourself, no matter how slight.
You are a wonderful person, and deserve the rewards of such.
Take your right arm, reach upward, and turn the palm of your hand to face your rear. Now bend your elbow until your palm touches your back, and pat. You deserve a pat on the back every once in a while. I look forward to meeting you with great enthusiasm and growing respect for your work day by day.
Gotta go now, but please feel free to email me, dude.
Sincerely yours,

ooOOOooohh ... Paul and Otter sitting in a tree... K, I, S, S, I, N, G...
Self portraits are such a pain. THis turned out nice. I like the contrast of your pale body against the dark couch. The pose, although a bit stern, seems natural and relaxed.

i'd love to take a portrait series of you... theres so much you can do with a hairless man... you can even begin to edge into the androgenous realm and take very futuristic shots! nice shot paul!

Very "powder" moment. Look at that shayna punum. What a nebish. You're a brave soul to turn your lens around and point it to yourself. All of the love and comfort that you give your models should be expressed for you. Why is it that we always feel so badly about this body we carry and all we want to do is change it? Seems to be time ill spent.
You're handsome and that dancers build is working that last nerve My turn next to show me bits and pieces.
Love,
W

You should like more about your body than the tattoo. You have a nice physique. That couch really makes you stand out...I'm not sure how to describe the facial expression, but I like it.
You dislike everything about your body but the tattoo, and you think that my face is "WONDERFUL." I don't understand! I am fat, I see something different every time I look in the mirror, and a lot of people wouldn't blame me for having a problem with my body (particularly those creeps you were talking about). I don't particularly care too much about my physical state. I know people who like larger, more cuddly guys like myself. You, however, should love your body, because it is impressive, and far more WONDERFUL than any part of me. You should smile for me because you've seen me smile.

Silly princess. Don't be sad. Look who's talking.... But don't be sad anyway. You should model. Snicker.
I had a dream a few nights ago you were talking pictures of me. It was very odd. There was snow, but it wasn't cold. There was something red, too, but I can't remember what it was.
Smile. Promise? Good. No one can resist moi.

This is a powerful self-portrait to me. I see a great man in the middle of something here. Very candid. The expression more revealing than the shirtlessness. Really an excellent photograph.
