Based on some recent incidents, let me reiterate: If you are the owner of a photo that appears on this site and wish it removed, you don’t need to get all legal and send threatening letters and takedown notices; just email me with the photo’s URL or leave a comment on the offending post and I will gladly remove it.
In other words…

You’re a bad man. You’re a very bad man!
Irreverent, independent, and often snarky partnered married gay boomer and doggie dad who is tired of moral pontification by hypocritical conservative assholes and hate filled religious bigots.
This blog is NSFW and intended for adults only.
It may contain unapologetically liberal diatribes and photos of naked men, either alone or together, doing things that may cause inexplicable erections among certain sanctimonious anti-gay Republican congressmen. In addition to my personal photography, images displayed here have been pulled from the internet.
Only for the view.
Hi 🙂 Me neither.
In the field of photography, architecture and interior design are a weird category. The usual photos show no human, no magnet on the fridge, and no drying rack. You know… life.
In this house, I feel too much empty spaces, with no people.
It’s paradoxical, because such big mansion even require a few helps to maintain such big bedrooms, big bathrooms, big windows, big garden, etc. in a spotless state. Potentially, those people can be underpaid, overworked, or/and undocumented workers with close to no rights, living in a few accommodated tiny rooms in the building… that are not shown on the photo obviously.
This emptiness reminds me of the dated cliché for car ads.
One guy driving a big car alone, in an empty city, as if to say he is the king of the road and of the city. So the aim of these photos are indeed to maintain an imaginary world, where the dream is to be treated like a spoiled person, with no regard to other people.
The bigger and the spotless the place, the more I fear for modern slavery and ecological wastes (temperature control).
And if the makers had no mind for them, then one can suppose that the noise isolation, the durability over decades, and the choice of materials has been botched too. I’d already be happy if my old place has no asbestos, and no lead paint. Unfortunately that’s not a given! And if one’s State doesn’t regulate further, new composite wood furnitures are a usual culprit for releasing health-harming formaldehyde and other air pollutants indoor, mainly in the first semesters. To sum it up, I have my own definition of “attention to details” 😀
Uhm…no Mark, and apparently neither does anyone else. What’s with all those sinks hanging on the walls? Besides, there’s too many wrinkles on the backs of the blue seating area. Details, details. The only plus here, the view. Saving my money this time.
