I’ve featured a few photos of Patricio Suarez before.  His vision, variety, and tone continue to be moving, professional, and poignant.

The images in this post are just some of the images from photographic series Suarez is still revealing on his Flickr stream here.

In creating and composing this post, maybe the most difficult task for me was trying to choose the first, the “lead” photograph to sit atop the post.  Because so many of these photographs are excellent, it was fruitless for me to try to place the images in any order of priority.  While I am always thoroughly considering the order I present images, these images would be moving in any order.

Suarez carefully considers his compositions, and like many other modern portraitists, leans toward bulls-eye and centered structure.  Suarez cares specifically about visual architecture, foreshortening, forms, contrasts, dark spaces, and lines.  He is not focused on glamour, fashions, or any of the common visual cues associated with the term “babe.”

For Suarez, beauty is sometimes found in an environment made up of simple characteristics:  a girl, a boy, patience, and privacy.  His images suggest possibly the greatest wealth and sensations can be fashioned from those few components.  Beyond those components, everything else is figuratively, and sometimes literally, window treatments.

Sidenotes:  To regular visitors, please know I have tried to find new and worthwhile ideas and artworks to share.  It has not been for lack of effort.  But unfortunately, most of my recent reading and viewing has not been of material I thought was worth taking up your time.  So, that is the reason there have been fewer posts recently.  I don’t like to bother people, even with elective publication, unless I come across artworks, such as Patricio Suarez’ artworks herein, I think warrant more consideration. 

After making love last night, I rested and thought how different real lovemaking is from most video or photographic portrayals of lovemaking.  In my few experiences with lovemaking, lovemaking is far more focused on being sensitive to cues, sensitive to touches, and responsive to body language, none of which are regularly visually well-architectured or well-composed. 

In the real world, outside of the world of imagery, and in the private spaces where lovemaking occurs, what you do, how you listen, and how you respond is far more important than your visual projections.  It all matters, but it’s probably good to consider that visual characteristcs matter very little in lovemaking.  More importantly, you are what you do, and you’ll experience what you do.  

To the degree you place visual considerations in your thoughts at a higher priority than they are, you may forget the intents and sensations lovemaking communicates.  Don’t let your visual considerations disable or distract you from communicating love.
