When considered as an object the photograph exists physically in
the world, it belongs to someone; it gets held, it has weight,
value. I've been interested in this concept for some time. It was
this interest plus the recurrent use of my images online without my
permission that motivated the creation of the series Little
Romances. I have always made very personal work, my current
emotional state and interests get translated directly into my
images. Most all these images reflect questions and anxieties about
being a woman, navigating what that means; what is expected of me
as a mother, daughter, wife or lover versus what I'm capable of. In
sharing my work online, sometimes it is treated with respect, but
more often not. Not being asked for its use, and/or not being
credited; it's upsetting being treated that way especially with
such personal images. In Little Romances I photograph prints of my
photographs and they become a physical object; my object. I
surround them with elements from my garden or other personal items
not to evoke nostalgia or sentimentality but to deepen my physical
connection/claim to these images and distance them from the viewer.
The object-image becomes obscured, repurposed, diverted, so that
its original intent remains safe from viewing and at the same time
it explores a new narrative.
Sportive gentlemen, lascivious ladies: Since the earliest days of
photography, people have been getting up to all manner of
rannygazoo in front of the lens. This collection presents the
finest highlights from the collection of New Yorker Mark Rotenberg,
who began collecting antique smut after finding a stash of vintage
erotic pictures in a Brooklyn dumpster and now owns a 95,000 strong
collection of archive pornography dating from between 1860 and
1960. Flick through these pages and witness the fitness of our
forebears as they romp, cavort, and frolic with unabashed energy
and glee. From early monochromes of daringly dropped drawers and
seductively waxed handlebar mustaches, to Kodachromes of cheery,
twin-peaked pin-up beauties in the 1950s, this fine collection
spans the sublimely sensual and the ridiculous. About the series
Bibliotheca Universalis - Compact cultural companions celebrating
the eclectic TASCHEN universe!
Say no to silicone: The greatest natural breasts of our times Some
call it the American obsession, but men everywhere recognize the
hypnotic allure of a large and shapely breast. In The Big Book of
Breasts, Dian Hanson explores the origins of mammary madness
through three decades of natural big-breasted nudes. Starting with
the World War II Bosom-Mania that spawned Russ Meyer, Howard
Hughes's The Outlaw and Frederick's of Hollywood, Dian guides you
over, around, and in between the dangerous curves of infamous
models including Michelle Angelo, Candy Barr, Virginia Bell, Joan
Brinkman, Lorraine Burnett, Lisa De Leeuw, Uschi Digard, Candye
Kane, Jennie Lee, Sylvia McFarland, Margaret Middleton, Paula Page,
June Palmer, Roberta Pedon, Rosina Revelle, Candy Samples, Tempest
Storm, Linda West, June Wilkinson, Julie Wills, and dozens more,
including Guinness World Record holder Norma Stitz, possessor of
the World's Largest Natural Breasts. The 420 pages of this book
contain the most beautiful and provocative black and white and
color photos ever created of these iconic women, plus nine original
interviews, including the first with Tempest Storm and Uschi Digard
in over a decade, and the last with Candy Barr before her untimely
death in 2005. In a world where silicone is now the norm, these
spectacular real women stand as testament that nature knows best.
The editor: Dian Hanson is a twenty-five-year veteran of men's
magazine publishing. She began her career at Puritan magazine in
1976 and went on to edit a variety of titles, including Partner,
Oui, Hooker, Outlaw Biker, and Juggs magazines. In 1987 she took
over the ?60s title Leg Show and transformed it into the world's
best-selling fetishpublication. Most recently, she authored
TASCHEN's Terryworld, Tom of Finland: The Comic Collection and
History of Men's Magazines six-volume set.
The first collection of Ms. Jensen's luscious ladies was greeted
with such enthusiasm, we simply had to invite Barbara to create an
entirely NEW gallery - which she did with abundant energy and
precision Meet the even-hotter honeys from a truly gifted
illustrator Yet another eye-popping collection of cuties -
semi-clothed AND, as advertised - "Clothing Optional"
Hot chicks are one thing, but these honeys are super-heated! Molten
mounds of mouth-watering badness who will drag you down to the
lowest circles of hell, just for the fun of it! If you are the type
who can resist anything but temptation - boy are you in trouble!

Meriggi, Cuevas, DeSimone, Sosa, Mitch Byrd and many more! Just

You are probably thinking Rod Berry, who is that? Yes, you are
right, it is a pseudonym; we cant publish his real name. Rod Berry
mainly lives in eastern Germany and has been doing erotic
photography for several years. Rod likes to experiment, and strives
to capture the perfect blend of voyeurism and exhibitionism. His
work stimulates the imaginations of model, photographer and viewer
in all sorts of different ways, because the biggest erogenous zone
of all is the one inside our heads.
