I don't think he's capable of such subtle under-imagery.

I certainly didn't notice it before you pointed it out. I've never liked that sort of overanalysis myself. I recall reading once about the relationship between Hitler and his crowds, analyzed sexually.

I don't think children his age are capable of intentional sexual imagery.

Case in point:

By the way, I don't know (or care) what the image is about, but it's a really bad 'shop job.

I'm oversensitive, I guess, but every time I see a train entering a tunnel, I automatically jump to this:

Hitchcock certainly intended it.

I see it too, but for me it comes from the Naked Gun parody of the famous Hitchcock scene.

But in any case, my point about Rochambeau that answers your question still stands.

Aside from the train, I see two others.

And, no, I don't think it's intentional on his part.

Huh

The bushes' concentric circle pattern representing breasts and thereby suggesting fertility and a dawn of new life, perhaps?  The skyscrapers aren't particularly phallic (or at least any moreso than all skyscrapers are by definition).  The fountains as ejaculation?  No, that's really pushing it.

What do you see?

You thought about my signature way too deeply. I just picked it because I thought it was a pretty picture.

Depending on how you look at the sidewalk, I could see either a penis and two testicles or a uterus.

I didn't think about a breast/ejaculation angle.

Lame thread topic. You can barely even see the tunnel the train is entering in Roch's sig pic. There is no real sexual imagery.

I am a big fan of Winston Link's black and white train photography stuff (and own a few that he signed), but alas I could only find what I was looking for in color. The one in black and white of a train with going into a tunnel at night with steam pouring out of the engine stack was not available online to put up alas. Sad

Why did you bump a three-month-old thread?  Huh

That portrait of Harry Truman is just oozing with sexuality; you'd have to be a totally celibate shut-in not to see it.
