You are so nicely hairy

I prefer seeing the unshaven Sian

This small essay is a large challenge for the photographer as well as the audience. Assignment: Do what is essentially a topless-only photo shoot of a woman that not only is sensuous, but whom most of the members have seen naked several times. Oh, and make it erotic as hell to those members! I think this is a good try. Forced emphasis on the breasts and not on the vagina may be hard for some of us to take—but, tits can be very entertaining, too. They come in an infinite variety of shapes, sizes, and textures. They reshape themselves in rhythm with a girl’s every move, at lease when unrestrained by bras and/or not filled with goop. So what does the artist do? Well, Sian’s breasts are quite nice, of course, but there is nothing particularly exotic about them. Like apples in a still-life, we are not interested in her tits per se, but rather with Peter’s way of presenting the centre piece(s) of the essay. There is a lot of good here. By the time we get to the last five photos on page one we want her to turn back around—but she never does! Is this because we hope to see more pubic hair and her vagina? Maybe, but you cannot help but notice that what you lost as you proceeded through the second page of pictures were her breasts. And in exchange you got her ass. Now if you found that a bit of a poor trade, then Peter did a good job. (OK, I would have liked to see plain white panties, but that’s being picky!)
