Fun in the Shower Room: SUBMISSION #17

It's been some time since the last submission. So here we are again.

I receive e-mails from all over the world. The next inductee to the Shower Room Gallery certainly adds more ethnicity to the existing collection as it comes all the way from Singapore.

By the way, I am hoping for chocolate. Dark chocolate. Anyone out there?

SUBMISSION #17


Back in October, I received an e-mail from young Ashen with his Shower Room submission attached. As pictured below, the eyes were blackened-out.



ALTERED


While I appreciate Ashen's effort, I had to tell him that I can't post his picture because I felt I now had a certain standard to abide by that has been set by previous submissions. Also, I didn't want to encourage receiving further cropped shots of torsos/arms/legs which miss the point of it all.

On the basis of remaining anonymous, I will not force others for a face shot. I told Ashen that there are ways of creatively hiding one's identity. Case in point, first picture of submission #11, submission #15, even myself #7 and here. I thought the photoshop-drawn sunglasses was a neat idea, but perhaps wearing a real one was even better.

Not long afterwards, I receive the unaltered photo.


UNALTERED


To compare the two photos was like night and day. I'm pleased to add this to the Shower Room Gallery because it is a wonderful visual demonstration of the importance of the eyes as a communication tool.

When I connect with a guy on a date, there's lots of eye contact. I really believe that the eyes are the window to our very essense. Don't you agree?
