Thanks for posting the link.

Masterful "set direction" or "art direction" on this series. Great use of effects and props. Really shows what a big production can do.

Striking images that deserve praise and seeing from time to time.

I was surprised to see the...coupling in the door though. Might need to put NSFW in your title.

What a master. Heh, the 'coupling' indeed is a bit surprising, but somehow, it just makes her all the more desirable.

Good gracious sakes alive, those are freaking awesome.

That is the reason Avedon is one of the most admired.

There are so many incredible shots/images in that set that it just is overwhelming to view.

One (just one of many) of my favorites is the "Broken Mirror Face/skull" mortality image. It is a classic.

I actually walked away smiling. Great work.

Bellissimo....

That series is ridiculously clever in concept and flawlessly executed. Spectacular.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting the link. Those images are simply off the charts!

Is it wrong that I think the doorway shot is really hot?

My favs are the pic where everything is getting blasted away and the mirror one.

Wow, thanks so much for posting this! Really enjoyed it...

I'm glad folks enjoyed this.

Great work, I am stunned!

And I just realized that this was shot and published in 1995. 14 years ago. wow.
