So many tiny lights
and one of them is mine.
The body doesn't have to die

Observing.
Yearning.

I'm 40 years old
for anyone that needs to know.


All photos in my stream,
good and bad,
were taken by me.
Please do not
re-post them anywhere.

I've recently become aware of the differences in monitors
and how my images may look to others.
On my new laptop I had to be adjust the settings a bit
but when I go to work I feel frustrated all over again. My monitor at work is Much nicer and so the images on it look richer and deeper--and tad darker--so I fidget with the images through flickr and then at home they're thrown off again. So sorry--to anyone who is paying attention--and it may not matter anyway--because we all have different computer monitors that are set to our personal preferences. As for me--I like it dark but if something looks TOO dark-then it may not be completely intentional. So-uh-there--that was my rambling disclaimer.

If you are in Chicago and interested in posing
(atypical, alternative, long hair, scruffy, "sexy scientist", blue collar men are a BIG plus) --
or on the off chance
that something here really catches your eye
and you are interested in purchasing a print,
please contact me.

Also---I have a lot of nude/semi-nude photos in my stream--nothing overtly pornographic--
but I have, unfortunately, had to reset the "safety" settings on a lot of them to Restricted
because of rules here on flickr.

So, for non-flickr friends who visit me here,
I apologize but you will have to sign up
(for free--you don't have to do anything else really),
and then turn off Safe Search
to see my "Unsafe"/Restricted photos.

Even though I am an adult
and all my friends are adult--and all well over 18--
we have to suffer spies, prudes, crybabies and busybodies with nothing else to do
but complain and be offended
by images I am not forcing them to look at.

It's even more annoying when your photos
are not placed anywhere near "family/generic" groups
or falsely mislabeled with tags
like bunnies, bar-mitzvahs, brides maids, church barbecues or baby showers.

Actually--it is beyond annoying.
What's beyond annoying?
Apoplexy?
Yes, I think so.


Anyway--I'm done ranting.
Please enjoy.


Vincent

    "It has been a real pleasure modeling for Vadrian Seven. He has been a great person to work with. It's a treat to anticipate waiting on each picture he remixes. Vadrian Seven introduced me to modeling and when I saw what he can do with the photographs, I was eager to have more sets taken. He is particular about who, where, and what he photographs and that ensures the utmost quality to his friends and followings. I see more than a photographer. I see an invisionary artist."

    "Vincent/Vadrian... A visionary like no other. He views the world through dark blood red lenses and comes up with a mix of taboo sexuality and urban coolness.
    He is a dark phoenix that comes back with ever more incredible photos... When you think he's reached the zenith of his image manipulating powers... he pushes you back on your heels with another round of incredible batch of work.

    V has the power of imagination and he dares us all to go on the journey with him. For anyone that reads this, delve into it all... you will find some really cool stuff. I

    I am enjoying the evolution of his "mind's eye" as it unfolds here on Flickr."
