Usually your photo dumps keep me enthralled throughout. This one - Lovely, maybe, but also a somewhat vanilla series of studies in their uniform gender & culturally sanctioned proportions.
Cat, you are absolutely right regarding the homogeneity of these models. The only explanation I can offer is my own laziness. These types of photos are the easiest to find and are therefore the ones I had accumulated while puttering around online. I do greatly admire the work of more interesting, challenging photographers such as Joel-Peter Witkin and Diane Arbus and will have to do a more varied dump soon.

A lovely photo dump. These will give me some inspiration — for taking my own photos that is.

Thanks Mr. Wild!

Cool, I'll have to look up their work.
I don't think I have ever scrolled down so frantically or futilely than upon viewing this thread and realizing how NSFW it was.
