A. The image is sensual, not sexual. Color isn't inherently glamour, though a large percentage is shot in it. B&W isn't inherently artistic, though some "purists" have a preference for its usage. Imo, one can readily mix genre cliches successfully. Art shot glamorously. Glamour shot artisticly.

Kudos to both the model and photographer. Great pose, and super depth of field image! 👍

No sir. Not happening. Why would your children be viewing an adult oriented page? Hard pass. In fact? Block. Adios! 👋

Fully nude, if I'm shooting Nude in Nature. The model is part of the entire image, and the content is at most sensual, not sexual in context.

My parents were the 1st generation born in the US. I'm the second.

2 1/2 yrs after this post my IG followers have risen to lofty heights at 244. Nah, no shadow ban there! And folks wonder why I almost never post to META any longer? Why? What's the point? 🤔

OK, and who's digging up Reagan and Bush Sr?

In the wild those starving monkeys would attack and kill the hoarder! Just sayin'

I expected someone to stand up and challenge him with an inciteful question. Even knowing they'd be escorted out of the building! Do your job! Grow a set!

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

The two biggest immigration mistakes? Murdock & Musk. Although historically it can be argued "Grandpa tRump".

C'mon, they've built their whole foundation on "Ur Guns, Ur Guns!" Everything else is superfluous.

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Why didn't anyone stand up and challenge him? So what if you're escorted out of the building? Grow a set!

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Hello? Have you not been paying attention? Clinton after Bush l, Obama after Bush ll, Biden after tRump l. It goes back 30+ years!

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Not if there are no repercussions once caught. No repercussion = winner imo. What price has he paid? And the rigged game continues on.

They wacked Bugsy Siegal for bankrupting a casino due to skimming if I remember correctly, yes?

Wish I could agree. Managed to win the Repug nomination in '16, '20, and '24. Managed to win the presidency in '16 and '24. Has managed to avoid impeachment and jail for various convicted felonies year after year. Care to explain how this turd is a loser? I'll wait.

Simple question? So why is no one knocking on his door to speak with him face to face? Where's a Congressional inquiry? Where's the press with their investigative journalism? Demand proof of life in person!! Enough of this bullshit!

011

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Couldn't help but DM "Jessica" what I had learned, as did a friend who was also following her, and we both were immediately blocked. Live and learn, eh?

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

It's taken you this long to come to this conclusion? Keerist! Us old farts from NYC have been saying this for 55+ years.

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Nope. It's approximately 51%+ of the population judging by past election results. You can fix illiteracy via education. Stupidity has no cure. Death perhaps?

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Simple answer? Put 3 Dems into a room and get 4 differing opinions how to proceed. Put 3 Repugs into a room and they'll buy 30 uniform opinions. They understand how to win at the game as a minority. Dems quite simply don't as the majority! Go figure, eh? 😉

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Bingo! It's about time we united against the top tier. It is a class war. Period. Anything else is divisive.

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Kudos to you both! Nicely done. The contrast is outstanding. 👍

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Been there, done that too. Great minds think alike, I guess?! But you're right. Most of my shoots were done Monday-Friday when average folks would be working and the coast was clear. 😉

010

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

I simply brought what I had been DMd about to your attention. If I had been convinced, I'd have blocked you and moved on. Fact.

000

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Guaranteed it's happening. They've got a prez who will pardon any legal wrong doings addressed by the courts, so why not try it? There's no downside for them if there won't be legit repercussions! C'mon, the Turtle made a lifetime career out of nefarious shit like this. Why stop after dying? 😉

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

If I refused to do Father/stepdaughter scenes 20 yrs ago, what's the allure of shooting now? That's a niche I refuse to fulfill. & they say we SWers have few boundaries? Wanna bet? I'll keep shooting my artistic work thanks! 👍

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

There once was a time I was in front of, as well as behind the camera earning a paycheck. I've zero desire to do any "Grandpa" shoots nowadays, so I'll keep my aging ass exactly where it belongs! Unviewed & hidden! New generations, step on up! Ur turn! 👍 music.youtube.com/watch?v=oGuh...

Nice pose, lighting, and contrast. I don't give a shit if "blue" model's, pages, and names are fake. A good image is a good image. That I'll note. Being retired I'll let others deal with any potential copyright infringements. No one's asking me to pay $$, so I can't be hurt doing this. Fuck it! 😉

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

I follow you quite simply because I enjoy the image style being posted. They're nicely done. CCL if they were shot 10-12 yrs ago. A good image is a good image. I respond to your comments because they were intelligently written. Not that "Check out my OF page!" bs. & you've never asked for $$$! 👍

000

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Jeeze! We've shot several models in common over the yrs. Likewise, used the same general locations. I'm amazed we never stumbled into each other during a shoot irl. Whoda thunk it? 😉

110

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Jeez Louise! After studying the images more closely, rather than my usual quick image scroll, it's obvious. To the plus side, at least they never tried booking a deposit shoot with me, as I once fell for. (Just once!) Only a 1/2 idiot now rather than a complete one! 😉

160

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Agreed. Then again, you opened my eyes to a couple of fake "models" pages I'd been following & commenting on. I'd rather know the truth than continue to be catfished! 👍

020

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

I guess I was successfully catfished (a rare event), as I followed both daily and commented on posts. Revising that status today. Thx for the head's up. 👍

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Nice! Kudos to you both! I used to love shooting at Desoto, especially during the Golden Hour. So many lovely nooks and crannies out of direct viewing! 👍

Nice shot! Adlee is great to work with. She has tremendous talent, and is a nice lady to boot! Kudos to you both! 👍

Rick Gordon or Old Gringo @rick-gordon.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Correction: After checking the image stats: 20 yrs ago, almost to the day! You've heard that adage about years flying and days dragging? Yup.

Was it Shakespeare who stated, "one can learn from both fools and from sages"? If not, he should have said it! 😉

I'm far too old to take what I'm told for granted. One does gain the ability to discern bs over time! 😉
