civilized ku # 859 ~ on the road again

1044757-10867782-thumbnail.jpg UHAUL - Mom's Attic ~ Au Sable Forks, NY - in the Adirondack PARK • click to embiggenOK, OK. I know that I have yet to address Larry's question re: my ideas re:place and how they might apply (or not) to my professed unsuitability for picturing single men (FYI, I won't be doing so today).

The reason for not doing so is simple. During my about-to-end visit to Williamsport, I have actually attempted to make a few single men pictures. The wife, while reviewing said pictures on the camera LCD during dinner last evening (at the Bullfrog Brewery - thanks Matt and JB), declared all but one of the pictures to be abject failures. Her primary criticism was my failure to picture the single men as sympathetically as I have pictured single women.

IMO, she may have a valid point and that point speaks directly to my idea that I may not be best suited to make single men pictures that mirror / compliment my single women pictures. That is to say, I can not help but look at women without some element of sex/sexuality as part of the equation but I do not look at men with the same outlook. However, I do not want to delve into that arena just yet.

This evening, after our 7 hour drive home and after I have processed the pictures and spent some quality screen time with them, I'm certain that I will have more to say on the topic of not only the pictures themselves but also how their success or failure might suggest an answer to Larry's question.
