Photographs – A Gay Movie Review

02/06/2023 By ACOMSDave Leave a Comment

PhotographsPhotographs is a short gay romance movie about Greyson who has just broken up with his girlfriend, Maddie, and Robbie a college-aged boy who can help him get the photographs he needs for a dating app.

Robbie is gay, but Greyson doesn’t seem to know what he wants or who at the start of the movie.  Every time they meet for a photograph session there seems to be an invisible barrier, and when Robbie returns home to download the pictures, at first he seems to want to spend more time with Greyson and he then pretends the photographs or manipulate them so that there has to be more sessions.

After a call from Maddie which seems to throw Greyson into a loop, preceded by a call between him and Robbie in which he has Robbie to come over so that he can view the photos of himself.  When they meet both are slightly awkward with each other, and both end up parting without understanding why. 

Greyson quickly comes to understand that he does like Greyson and rives off to catch him up and here I ask you to watch the movie and tell me your thoughts about the ending.

Photographs is a movie produced and filmed by Dmitri Mikhnev and Ly Tran of GoodGaff Productions from Los Angeles

Bianchi: Outpost by Tom Bianchi

ISBN is:  9780312142834 / 0312142838
Bianchi: Outpost
by Tom Bianchi
Publisher:St. Martin’s Press, 1996
Edition:Hardcover
Language:English
Bianchi OutpostThis (very short) small-format book by Tom Bianchi,  seems to be a spin-off from a larger project, based on using a Hollywood swimming pool as a back-drop. This was for images of two (or pairs of) handsome, largely naked, men. They are smooth, ‘built’, but not overly muscled men, mostly Aryans. Nothing wrong with that: but the setting is southern California, specifically Los Angeles / Hollywood; probably the greatest concentration of glowingly beautiful males of every ‘race’ on the planet

Said males in the pics don’t do anything particularly ‘interesting’ – just the sort of thing anyone does near a large swimming pool, not excluding swimming. There is one lovely image of two quite mature, naked, men kissing, in a kindly, not passionate, and not slaveringly sexy sort of way. Not that ‘passion’ and / or ‘slaveringly sexy’ would have been in any way unpleasing.

Other images are of, mostly couples, in intimate poses; lips hover very close to crotches, and it isn’t hard to guess what will happen shortly after the various images have been shot. It’s interesting to speculate what the photographer, Tom Bianchi,  would be doing, would he remain a disinterested spectator?
Or…?

For me, the most sexually… stimulating… image is the last one; a fine set of legs, a sculpted butt, and – interestingly – the upper body swathed in a loose shirt. The chap’s head is missing, well… it is cropped out of the image, but with an elegant arse like the one on show, it isn’t really a loss. Though it is, no, doubt, very attractive.

Currently this book does seem to be available on Amazon.co.uk, however with a little research and by using Bookfinder.com, I have found 27 stockists at various prices.
