Just Because: American Idol
Above: Ty Hemmerling
Just because I am so glad the auditions for American Idol are over. I know I have said it before but as much as love American Idol, I find the auditions to be one the cruelest spectacles on American television. The #1 show in America spends about 12 weeks showcasing young talent and about 4 weeks making fun of the poor, the mentally unstable, the deluded, the weak and the needy. I always question those who say the auditions are all they watch.
Got to give kudos to bikini boy (Ty Hemmerling) as given all the attention bikini girl got last year, it was a brilliant move to garner some screen time. Too bad American Idol loves to oogle and make sexist comments about the pretty girls, but...when there is a good looking guy the show they somehow make it seem perverted to focus on his attraction. Bikini girl got plenty of air time last year and a place on the finale, bikini boy had the 4 judges walking out in disgust. Funny, maybe (I admit I chuckled) but it reinforces the reputation that this show (dispute having had so many gay singers, Broadway themes and Simon and Ryan) is one of the most homophobic shows on television.
Maybe I take it all too seriously.... But give em hell Ellen!

The First Time...Ever I saw your Face: Simon Le
I have posted many times about my love and respect for the work of Australia based photographer Simon Le. FH's is full of great shots of great looking me, but to me no matter great the body, it always comes down to the face. One of Simon's signiture shots that I love is his portrait.
Every emotion and depth of feeling can be shown on the human face. To capture that fleeting moment on film is a challenge fit for the most talented of photographers. Simon Le is certainly one of them! Check out more of Simon's work at his site HERE:
