Von Gloeden by Pairs Day


Today I'm taking a turn at von Gloeden's work with duos.  We start with two young men who 
appear to be in a volcanic landscape.  I think both appear again later in today's series.

  1. Wilhelm von Gloeden is one of my favorite photographers. He and some of his relatives had very similar tastes, and sometimes it is difficult to determine which one of them was the photographer..

    1. I agree, and adding to the confusion is the fact that von Gloeden's cousin, Guglielmo Plüschow, had a model, protegee, and likely lover named Vincenzo Galdi who also took up nude photography with much the same style.

    2. I think that it was Galdi who photographed a number of his models with erections, and also while having fun with another models sometimes.

  2. Wonderfully Promethean. As if they've been exuded by the volcano. I bet that volcanic rock is sharp on the feet.

    1. Those of us who walk on recent volcanic rock constantly wear out our shoes and sandals.

    2. Even pahoehoe will do it, but not a quickly.
