Huh. I really want to take a shower with that guy. I don't know what to do with all these new feelings.

I saw that shower guy and thought 'man I really hope he lands on something non-skid'.

Sorry to threadsit, but FYI I asked the mods to update the link to go direct to the source site, based on localrogers suggestion. A few of the photos involve people who are starkers, but posed in such a way that the naughty bits are not showing. Thanks Mods!

I really *hope* this is either 'shopped or the angle is misleading... is it coincidence that the building in the background is LEGG Mason?

These are awesome. I want to buy prints and hang them everywhere. I love the feeling of joy and significance and heightened... something. I don't know. The kind of magical realism. I feel like I need this in my daily life.
I normally don't think of ballet as something I especially like, but recontextualizing it like this gives me a new appreciation for it. What amazing athletes they are!
So, um... Good post.

Classic Favourite which is probably why it features as a book cover.
Some of the other series are fun as well.

The book has an extensive appendix about how most of the shots were staged.hours of setup, some were many retakes, a few just happened. Some were No photoshop! (I expect there is the normal color correction). The shot of the dancer on the cannon was dangerous.
