Happy Valentines Day

Archaeologists dig up prehistoric couple:

"Archaeologists working on the eve of Valentine's Day carefully began digging up the bones of a prehistoric couple on Tuesday, hoping to keep their 5,000-year-old embrace undisturbed forever.

The pair, buried between 5,000 and 6,000 years ago in the late Neolithic period, are believed to be a man and a woman who died young, because their teeth were found intact. Archaeologists have hailed the find, saying that double burials from that period are rare and none have been found in such a touching pose.

The burial was unearthed on the outskirts of Mantua during construction work. The site is 25 miles south of Verona, the city where Shakespeare set the story of 'Romeo and Juliet,' and the discovery fueled musings in the media about prehistoric love.

Menotti also has said there is little doubt the couple's pose was born of a deep love." 

Nothing else matters.

These two ... and you ... make the world go 'round.

Robert Farber~Fine Art :

"Welcome to the Fine Art Gallery exhibiting Robert Farber's expressions of the nude. His work in nudes have many parallels in painting. For example, his classical nudes seem to draw inspiration from the old Dutch masters, and the softness of many of his images echo Renoir's Impressionism, yet his graphic nudes have all the strength of abstract art."

Hard to believe I've been posting for months and haven't put up one true nude, aside from the large-breasted mannequins piece, that is. 

Fifty years ago, I was looking around my father's study, a small room off the garage, where he worked on his first book, The Earth Shook, The Sky Burned, and I found one of his photo magazines. His day job required him to shoot photos as well as write and edit marketing materials for the companies where he worked before that book became a best-seller, setting him free from the workaday world.

I was five years old, obsessed with Superman and Zorro for the most part.

Back then, the photo magazines were very different from the soft-core porn they are today. I remember though, as if it were yesterday, looking through the magazine.

Still-lifes, landscapes, nature photography and then, near the back of the magazine, at the bottom of the page, a tiny picture of a naked woman.

And I knew in that moment that there was a universe full of wonder to explore, a world of mystery of which I had been heretofore unaware. And that that exploration would shape my life.

Little did I know.
