Comments on: Book of naked men amongst Byron Bay beauty to be launched at Mardi Gras /features/the-beat/book-of-men-surrounded-by-byron-bay-beauty-to-be-launched-at-mardi-gras/132275 Setting Australia’s LGBTI agenda since 1979 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 05:02:06 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: Jaques /features/the-beat/book-of-men-surrounded-by-byron-bay-beauty-to-be-launched-at-mardi-gras/132275/comment-page-2#comment-349022 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 01:03:04 +0000 https://starobserver.com.au/?p=132275#comment-349022 To use a colloquialism how very bloody ‘shit boring’ ….men are shit boring at the best of times but perhaps these are ‘gay’ little narcissists….brainless enough to pose nude for some camera twit on a mission. If you are heterosexuals then puerility might be the correct description. As far as beauty is concerned as claimed by one commentator….I think if you dress and look normal instead of painfully strained you may look handsome. As for the ‘acclaimed’ photography…well here’s where

I suppose the poor (lens) focus was ‘intentional’ to ‘add something arty’..? The first photo is finger down the throat stuff and the tattoo’d thing on the horse might look great if you’ve been eating funny mushrooms but it’s lousy photography of the horse, the creature on its back and the environment. Some other photos may be sharp but their framing is just so bad…so bad.

I suppose one has to accept to some degree ‘modern’ lack of talent being frantically heralded …such as the so called ‘mardi gras’….the capsule-in-motion of ghastly prancing, ‘licentious depravity before during and afterwards’, their excited little pouncey friends chatter excitedly. These photos definitely swing that way.

To be homosexual is no great drama but ‘coming out’ in pink hotpants or footie gear and dancing with your seedy Frank-Thring beards looking for other men to bung demeans you and the rest of society that tolerates your mincing ugliness.

To be joined (metaphorically at least) during the horrible ugly event by vote-seeking politicians, soldiers, sportsmen and tragically,…. youth, is an empathy as misguided as paying tithes to Hillsong’s slimey pastor. No I haven’t forgotten the women. The women are a seedy as the men. If you are homosexual, fine, but just keep it to yourself and your close friends would you?….instead of screaming ‘look at me… look at me..look at me’ …..IIIII’ mmm…..GAY!! Yeah right well does that add something ‘earthshattering’ we should know about?

On that subject….thank the stars there’s another year of grace before the next crock of crap rolling down the road gathering ‘coming out’ moss as it rolls.

John Bortolin gets admiration??? for his book of twittery?….well I guess some people will cheer for anything. This ‘nude photography’ business to make a quid has becomes so bloody boring and this bloke doesn’t have much talent at it….most don’t…so he’s not alone. Why not try to get involved in real beauty John, nature itself, rural life, disused towns and buildings, even learn how best to have an horse stand to photograph its ‘majesty’ . …..if you have to have people strip off to make a quid then it’s self explanatory how little talent and imagination you and the myriads of other who do it actually have as a ‘photographer’. You have some of it ‘right’ why not work off that?
