We&#8217;ve all seen it plenty of times but today I was just struck by the sheer beauty and vulnerability it. The photo is by <a href=\"http:\/\/images.google.com\/images?hl=en&#038;safe=off&#038;rlz=1B3GGGL_enAU281&#038;num=100&#038;ei=f007St3iGZL26gP33bWdDg&#038;resnum=0&#038;q=Annie+Liebowitz&#038;um=1&#038;ie=UTF-8&#038;ei=t007SoqkDsSSkAXShOXADg&#038;sa=X&#038;oi=image_result_group&#038;resnum=4&#038;ct=title\" target=\"blank\">Annie Lieboweitz<\/a> and it was taken on December 8, 1980 &#8211; the day John Lennon was shot.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s something incredibly poignant about the fact that this image of passion, love and vulnerability presaged a violent death. It carries an aura of tragedy about it, even though that&#8217;s not what the photo itself has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>This a photo that is about sex and yet so much more; John Lennon <em>needs<\/em> Yoko. There&#8217;s absolute openness and intense attachment on show. His nakedness and clinging pose is almost a symbol of infancy next to her clothed form. Not many man would be willing to appear naked in a photo let alone naked in such an &#8220;unmasculine&#8221; pose. Indeed, Lennon&#8217;s willingness to reveal so much of himself is perhaps what is so astonishing to us.<\/p>\n<p>How does this relate to porn? Well, I guess you could say that this complete nakedness and emotional connection is what&#8217;s missing from so many images of sex. Imagine an erotic film that managed to convey the symbolism and emotional intensity of this photograph. That is something I&#8217;d love to see &#8211; or make.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theage.com.au\/news\/world\/indulge-their-narcissism-the-leibovitz-trick-to-shooting-stars\/2008\/05\/03\/1209235220196.html\" target=\"blank\">Read more on this photo and Annie Liebowitz here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The photo is from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalgalleries.org\/collection\/online_search\/4:324\/result\/0\/42479\" target=\"blank\">this site<\/a> and the photo credit of course goes to Annie Liebowitz.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I post a lot of photos of naked men on the blog but this one is so very different.
