PESO - M. de la Rue

2015-08-03 Thread Knarf
I took this over a year ago but I don't think I ever posted it here. 

Martin de la Rue is sort of a stage name he uses - almost a performance art 
thing he does where he plays a French postman. His real name is Tino and he's 
an avid cyclist and photographer. I called his name, he turned and smiled when 
he recognized me:

 If you see sexualization, then that is what you see.
It may not be what someone else sees.

She's showing her tits, Bill. Please show me an adult who doesn't think that's 
sexual! At this point I'm not even saying it's bad, but to deny it's sexual? 

 Generally speaking, exploitation doesn't involve consent.

I guess it depends on what consent means, doesn't it? Power, who has it and 
who doesn't, has a huge part to play whether one can be said to truly consent. 

Do think that blacks working on the railways back in the '40s and 50's were 
exploited? They did demeaning work, never rose to supervisory positions yet 
they got decent pay compared to many in their community. Whites got paid much 
more and had much better working conditions. The fact that blacks agreed to 
the jobs and pay doesn't mean they weren't exploited.

 If it's normal and acceptable, then by definition it's okay.

By your definition slavery was okay.

 If a person is comfortable with the process, then your discomfort is 
your problem, and is something that you are trying to project onto
them.

Actually I think the problem is that so many are comfortable with this. I think 
the fact that so many don't see a disparity between portrayals of men and women 
in the media is the problem. I think the fact that so many see the disparity 
and are okay with it is the problem.

frank

 Bruce took that photo knowing that part of its appeal would be
 sexual. And Dorrie agreed to have the photo taken, knowing that sex
 was a part of it.
Were you there?

 Does that mean Bruce exploited Dorrie? No.

 By agreeing to be photographed in that way (indeed, being part of the
 creative process) was Dorrie being exploited? Yeah, I think so.

Generally speaking, exploitation doesn't involve consent.

 Not by Bruce but by a society that puts a value on the sexualization
 and objectification of women. Being a consenting part of the process
 doesn't mean one isn't being exploited.

Now it's my turn to ask if you are serious.
Exploitation: the action or fact of treating someone unfairly in order

to benefit from their work.

Was the model treated unfairly? Did  Bruce have to threaten her or drug

her into a stupor to get her to pose?

The whole exploitation thing is a construct of people who want to 
control others through shaming them.
If a person wants to be exploited, they will be exploited.
Oops, if they want to be exploited, that takes away the unfair part of 
the definition.




 We're all socialized to see this as normal and acceptable but does
 that mean it's okay?

If it's normal and acceptable, then by definition it's okay.


 Men and women are portrayed far differently by the media. Yes, men
 can be sexualized, but in a very different way, and certainly far
 less frequently than women.

 My problem isn't necessarily with this individual photo or with
 Bruce. It's that this is a part of the exploitation and
 objectification that goes on every day on TV, in movies, magazines,
 and advertising of all kinds. Women ~are~ treated differently than
 men especially in sexual portrayals, and to the extent that this
 photo is a part of that, I feel very uncomfortable.

If a person is comfortable with the process, then your discomfort is 
your problem, and is something that you are trying to project onto

 Thank you very much for your kind words and support, Frank!


 If it is of any comfort to you, the model, Dorrie, fully participates
 in and approves of every part of the image creation process.

I think this is where the whole exploitation via sexualization and 
objectification argument falls on it's face.
When the subject is a willing participant in the process, who is being 
exploited?

Who is sexualizing the model? Is it the photographer who has taken a 
picture of the model? The artist who sketches or paints a likeness of 
the model?

Or is it the viewer who sexualizes and objectifies the model with his
or 
her own preconceptions?

There is a very tired old argument that art was invented to get women 
out of their clothes. Perhaps it is true, perhaps it isn't, but the 
argument ignores the reality that the subject has to be a willing 
participant in the process for the process to happen, which effectively

torpedoes the whole exploitation argument.

This is almost an aside, and should go into another post, but the image

in question is quite nice, though not one of the best pictures I've
seen 
you do of Dorrie.

ride year after year. Some of them start the ride by biking the route

a lot of carbs drink lots of beer and profess to have a great time.
Many find out that Iowa is not as flat as they had heard.
 
 I rode a very short way with them. BTW my brother dubbed the ride
Tour de farms many years ago and made a tidy sum for many years selling
T-shirts on the ride with the slogan and original artwork by his wife.

But I can't deny their technical and artistic brilliance. 

In the end I have to admit that it's quite beautiful, which causes more inner

Hi Everyone:

Tuesday night, my dad—Charles S. Aguila--passed away.  He was 84 and
had been suffering with congestive heart failure.  My dad would have
fit right in PDML.  He had a great sense of humor, was extremely
generous, told funny stories, and was a solid photographer in his own
right.  Someday, I’ll scan some of his slides and post them; they are
really quite good.  He used to shoot with a Minolta—I think.  I don’t
know if his camera is still in the house.

Some of his funniest stories were about his paratrooper days.  Dad
served in Korea, and when his tour was completed he reenlisted in the
reserves, went to jump school, and served as a paratrooper in the 12th
Special Forces. He never jumped during active duty, but he completed
60+ jumps during his reserve service.   He also earned Canadian wings
during jump school training in Canada.  After 31 years of military
service, he retired Master Sergeant E9.

He is 81 in the photo below.  When I took this photo three years ago, I
thought for sure he’d be around for a good while longer.  He looks so
fit and young for 81.  But in the last year and a half, his health
turned.  He died at home with everyone near by and surrounded in love.

Love you, Dad!  Miss you tons!
Christine

Re: OT: First Adult Bike

2015-07-22 Thread Knarf
The Giant factory in Taiwan is the world's largest bicycle factory. For years 
they made frames for other manufacturers but about 30 years ago they started 
branding their own. And you're right, they make good bikes.

Many top manufacturers, like Specialized have all but their top racing frames 
made in Taiwan, likely by Giant. And many well-known brands (like Bianchi of 
Italy) have their more affordable bikes made in Taiwan - by Giant.

BTW, virtually every carbon fibre frame, regardless of manufacturer, is made in 
mainland China. No one else has the facilities. 

Glad I ride Italian steel.  :-)

Skepticism is justified. They're manufactured in Taiwan.

I don't know if any standard bicycles are still manufactured in the 
USA, but there are LOTS of manufacturers who will build you a custom
bike.

Still, it's a good bike  I hope she gets a lot of use out of it.

Compelling image.

My nit to pick is that I wish there were more separation between the 
photographer and model.

Her pose is terrific and I love the spectator off to the right - he's 
positioned perfectly. 

Nice colours and exposure.

the photograph captures the beauty that I saw with my eyes when I took
it), but then Ann commented on it in the Cracks in the Firmament
thread (thanks Ann - I had NOT PESO'd it) and then I wake up this
morning to find this image getting lots of attention from being added
