I love the way Roy Dean could give prominence to the natural environment 
without having the model appear swallowed up by the background.

    Hawaii cast its natural spell and brought inspiration to Roy Dean as it later did to Jim French….:)

    1. I only wish more of the Hawaii work was in color.

    2. Oui, couleur would have been exceptionnel give the naturel beauté of Hawaï. On my visits to Hawaï I have been taken by the beauté of the fleurs native to the iles. Photographers should utilise fields of wildflowers with male nudes for an intoxicating effet.

  4. In Europa träumen wir von Hawaii.
    Mein Eltern reisten 1956 während des Wirtschaftswunders zum ersten Mal dorthin und waren begeistert. Seitdem fahren wir etwa alle fünf Jahre dorthin.
    Wie Großvater sagt: Gott sei Dank für die Amerikaner und den Marshallplan. :)

    1. The Marshall Plan was money well spent. I doubt that our current political "leadership" would have enough common sense to do it.

    2. Wir wissen, das die Amerikaner gut sind, denn sie haben Europa gerettet. Es sieht so aus, als müssten wir in Europa im Gegenzug Amerika befreien. (“)
