Looking good

Someone reviewed a book of the best war photos of maestro photographer Capa. They concluded that only around half would be deemed technically acceptable for publication today.


It's the miracle of automatic digital photography.


We expect everything to be pin-sharp.


Which is why it's a bit strange to encounter a porno sequence like this one, with blurry images.


It feels like we're travelling back in time, to a technically less proficient age.


Which is clearly absurd, but let's compare the pictures of that lovely, small-winkied, beefy boy with the pin-sharp images of this tiny-dicked beauty:


There's nothing blurry here.


Everything is crystal-sparkly sharp, down to the individual grains of sand.


Or, rather, they would be visible if I hadn't reduced the size of these images to make them more blogger-friendly.


Talking of blogger-friendly, about half of the first five images were uploaded at massive size so they looked stupid on the screen, while the others were automatically resized by blogger to fit.


They were all uploaded at the same time in the same batch in the same way, so I know it's not me being an idiot (which would have been my normal default assumption).


What is it with these website owners? They have something that works, but they can't resist "improving" it to make it "better", which makes everything go to Hell.


Luckily we've now run out of space, before I got going about flickr's recent "improvements"...

Nice pair of lads, I like that peek through the shorts pic, and the willy close-up of the babyfaced boy. Cute.

The peek through picture - wonder why he's looking so very sad.... Maybe he's longing for me....

That second boy is so, so gorgeous. I love him and want him.
