body movement tuesday :: dawn

DAWN
Edward Bower Hesser
Among dancers and early motion picture performing community there existed a very strong belief in the ideals of the physical culture movement, of physical perfectibility, bodily beauty, hygiene, and expressive sexuality. Some, Isadora Duncan, Ted Shawn, Annette Kellerman, Margaret Edwards, Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., were messianic exhibitionists intent on demonstration to any public that would look the splendor, the human physique.  Edwin Bower Hesser in his own distinctly suspect way latched on to certain of these convictions.  From 1923 until the mid 1930s he edited and supplied imagery for as many as seven art magazines designed for art students concerned with problems of the human form.  His brief stint of study at the Art Institute of Chicago did not entirely elevate his aesthetics from kitsch and artiness to art.  This was, of course, what Duncan and the Greek dance movement was doing at the same time. Dancing in minimal costume in the open air.  Few copies remain of the publications in which Edward printed.  He was not the only supplier of images to these publications.  Included was Alfred Cheney Johnston, John De Mirjian, George DeBarron, and Strand Studio.

Erotique Digitale
Kelly Michael Charles Lind
"Hi. Im Kelly Lind. Hmmm ... I think this is where a photographer talks in the third person about how important his work is, all he's accomplished, and all the ways you should envy him. But it turns out, that just makes me feel a little sleazy, awkward, and dishonest. Im just another average guy, working towards an extraordinary existence, one day at a time."
excerpt taken from About

"Frankly, I can do without shooting the harder stuff. I tend to linger at the beginning of a set with the model fully clothed because more often than not, I find my subjects to be more sexual with their clothing on. Even the most seasoned porn star doesn’t let her guard down completely while nude. It’s a very vulnerable place to be. So i enjoy shots like the one above because there’s a vulnerability that’s difficult to capture otherwise."
excerpt taken from Blog

Join Erotique Digitale

There are moments where a decision has to be made.. to embrace every facet of all artists and their medium, or to stay on the surface and whistle while the world's underground stays apart from your reality. The places I have seen and the faces of our fears, including joys, all stand together. Our dictionary of words can not begin to touch what happens within a person's journey. We make choices of what to watch, whom to reach out to, how to prepare dinner, and where our money is spent. Kelly Lind straddles realities for many and vividly documents his journey. I choose to support photography and due to the fact that I assemble pieces so close to the human body, erotica claims many parts of my heart.
