Pure Joy - 2001.09.10 photos

Sensuous and Plain Weird

This was taken 8/11 at Wildcat II. Christian and Sacha are cuddling. I think the double exposure of Sacha's face is sensuous. I also think that the double exposure of Sacha's face is weird and kind of disturbing.

Unable to Operate Heavy Machinery

This was taken 8/11 at Wildcat II. Christian is feeling fine indeed. I liked Christian's happy moment. However, is it pure joy when you can no longer operate heavy machinery?

Walking on Water

This was taken on 7/29 at Wildcat I. Brian is "walking on water." I like the playful joyfulness. I don't like the poor technical quality. Also, he's also posing, and posing reduces joy mojo.

Marianne

This was taken on 7/28 at Wildcat I. Marianne is taking an afternoon nap. I like her relaxed happy look. However, this isn't the pure joy we are looking for. And, I don't like the cars in the background.

Andrei

This was taken at Qoöl on 4/25. The lights just came up at 111 Minna. I like the joyful look. I don't like that it's all kind of blurry.
