This is remarkably lovely and arresting. We might as well be at Vaux-le-Vicomte or Villa d'Este, for all the power of any ambience to deflect our concentration from the patient, generous plinth of manly comity, the supple foil portending suave luxuriance, beyond its pendants and its poise. Embraced and soothed and slaked is all our consciousness, to slip the seizing strait a stroke to suckle in its sway.
about the male gaze, about jockstraps, vintage beauty, remembered lust, wrestlers' singlets, fragile soldiers, jock's shorts, pretty boys, difficult confessions, self-portraiture, timid suggestions & astonishing, magnificent ghosts

All these beautiful boys, shot by amateurs photographers, smiling in front ov the camera, laughing and playing with buddies...all is over now, the buddies, the models, the camera and the photographers. -DJAM'L
