Something is unlocking.
Anyway, I like to do a storyboard of images so — I was looking at Horst, and some very erotic things I saw in twitter I mean…
They just were. It was what the man was doing with his hand, to her. Potent. Whew — and you couldn’t see the man, only his hand and a tie. He was dressed in a suit, and she very dressed in lingerie and heels — and he was just using one hand. Enough to make one want to go out and spend a fortune on lingerie let me tell you. Damn. I think I’ll call the story “Abandon.” Because that really was. One of the sexiest things I have ever seen.
So Horst was this incredible fashion photographer that pre-dated Helmut. In some ways I was born into the era that was Horst & it is very surrealist. It is the time of Fellini films and lots of black and white — which is what I was looking at. I mean, the erotic for me in an image never tells the whole tale, and the things I couldn’t take my eyes off today don’t either.
I was made so excited by looking at what I saw I almost have to write the short story. I haven’t felt like this for a long time so good to have a muse.
So the lighthouse. I’ve photographed it myself. It’s so phallic. And black and white with these stripes from the 60’s. I’ll use that as the setting. This one:
So Horst — an image of the lingerie in the tale…
Not sure how long I want it to be. Hmm.
Been a long time, I miss ERWA and being published.
It tales your mind off the bad news.
