A great photo, sold yesterday on eBay for a hefty $620. Pretty good price for an anonymous 8" x 10" photo with damage from a paper clip near the top.The appeal is obvious... a bunch of naked guys showering together.
They all turn their backsides to the camera. Nice butts. Skin glistening. Soap dropping... well one can imagine.
But there's something very strange going on when you look a little more closely. Is it a double exposure? An elaborate Photoshop trick?
The guys in the foreground don't seem to be part of the same image. They look like they've been superimposed or layered on top.
The man on the right who is either taking off or putting on his underwear has a semi-transparent shoulder. The guys on the left... what the hell are they doing, just watching? Doesn't that seem a little, uh, gay?
And what's going on in the room itself? It doesn't look like a barracks, or a gym, or a bath house. Shower heads dangle from the lofty ceiling where a couple loose boards might come crashing down at any second. The whole steamy scene is artfully illuminated. You can almost hear the water dripping.
This photo raises a lot of questions and provides few, if any answers. Maybe that's why it was such a hot item. Or maybe just any old photo of a bunch of naked guys showering together sells for 600 bucks these days. I dunno, but will keep my eyes open.
