                                    I was going to put another chat page here and explain more about some of the images you have just looked at, but I decided they should really speak for themselves. However, maybe I should talk a bit more about the process and reasons for spending years photographing women and manipulating images. Do you notice how many of the images seem to be about damage to women? I am not certain myself why this is so. There is certainly nothing in my psyche of that ilk. In fact, I am for the celebration of women. It might just be that shock, blood, pain, and destruction are more provocative elements%u2014lending their weight of macabre substance to the power of each image. Or it may well be a %u2018given%u2019 within human society that dark deeds tend to be exacted upon women because of sexual roots. You don%u2019t read about rape of men by women in the papers, for example, do you? Horror movies delight in the sexually suggested violence against women perpetrated on them by women, men, and demons. Why photograph and create images of women only? I think quite simple to answer if one is honest: I am a man, and women are always sexually and sensually attractive to me. Rather than destroy lives and be forever a rolling stone without a real and fulfilling relationship by constantly finding new women to become intimate with, maybe by creating images of women, I fulfil a relentless desire in a healthy way? One might also ask why hundreds of thousands of women, a far greater number than men, present themselves on internet modelling sites to be selected by people like me to be photographed and imaged. It certainly isn%u2019t for the money as most of them do not get paid. Could it be they have low self-esteem which can only be %u2018fixed%u2019 by an eternal alternative life, where they are %u2018chosen%u2019 for a photographer%u2019s attention to appear in classic images? mol
