The invitation
The invitation Come and join me under my veil … Is that what she wants to tell me with her inviting look? A woman can use her veil to guard herself against the looks of others, but also on the contrary, to secretly make contact. The way she lifts her veil and reveals what should…

Blissful sleep
Blissful sleep After their lovemaking ▲ and ▼ are plunged into a deep, blissful sleep. It must be one of those hot Californian summer days in the 1960’s. As a work of art it may be fragile and look dated, but the tender sweetness of the scene is able to touch the heart. Photo of the…

The joy of sex …
The joy of sex … … is of all time. This lovely scene was immortalized in stone 1000 years ago. It is part of hundreds of erotic sculptures that adorn the ancient temples of Khajuraho (India), a Unesco World Heritage Site. Rightly so!

Phallus shrine

A huge wooden Venus on the landing. Unpolished, roughly cut, she impresses me as a strong piece of nature. A Nordic Venus. I like…

Poster girls
Poster girls Five people gazing, not at each other but each one in a different direction. And then there is a sixth one, me, capturing the scene in my own field of vision. Well, two of the five people are not there as large as life. But, larger than life in black and white, they certainly…

The nape of her neck
The nape of her neck Why does the women’s kimono hold such an irresistible fascination for me? The secret lies in the collar. At the back, the kimono features an elegant cut-out with a vertical, stand-up collar. As the rest of the female figure remains hidden from view, the cut-out, the collar and the hair…

Get fresh with me
Get fresh with me With her naughty look, the text on the girl’s tight shirt leaves little room for uncertainty of how to interpret her offer. After all the Goan New Year’s parties with their abundant alcohol consumption and sleepless nights, this sounds like an attractive proposition. But those with a serious drinking problem, who…

Like a dream in transit
Like a dream in transit Aeroplanes came and went. Lost in thought, I watched the loading and unloading taking place right outside in front of me. Suddenly, the figure of a young woman glided into my field of vision and lingered there, an arm’s length away. She stood with her back to me. The contours…
