[Naked men making love, so not to everyone’s taste (but so carefully done it can appear on a book cover, so no alarm bells)]
Briefly noted: a clever photo (attributed on Pinterest to male photographer Tom Bianchi) that pairs the two primary objects of gay desire with two soft drink vending machines: a Pepsi butt and a Coke basket:
Pinterest shows me this photo roughly once a day. It’s far from a typical Bianchi: I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Bianchi in which his (male) subjects are completely clothed (his Wikipedia entry just describes him as “an American writer and photographer who specializes in male nude photography”).
This is what we have come to expect of Bianchi, as on this book cover:
(#2) His 2004 book; the cover shows a carefully arranged composition of beautiful naked male bodies in medias res
But it turns out that he has filmed fully clothed men, as in this screen shot from the film version of On the Couch, Volume Two: Toronto:
(#3) Well, they’re briefly fully clothed on that couch, before they get into it
But #1 remains a puzzle, since it’s a street scene, with no apparent sexual celebration going on. Also, I can’t get a Google search to find the image anywhere except on Pinterest — though that just might be a weirdness of Google’s AI-assisted searching (which kept getting caught up on images of vending machines and just disregarded Tom Bianchi).
I am not dealing well with the brave new world I have been impelled into.
