The meaning hidden in this photograph confuses me, as I think it is meant to.
What is happening, we ask ourselves? Are we meant to be blinded by the single white cyclopean eye staring out at us over the void-like maw of the chimney that looks poised to swallow Rafa's chair, and Rafa himself? Why are Rafa and Nando both touching their left wrists. Are their crossed arm postures meant to signal their insecurity and human frailty, or are they merely itchy? What has Roger just said to make Rafa smile fondly from his slumped, submissive posture, to make Mandy glance up in shock, and to cause Nando's face to darken to a bullish glare? We will never know.
All the attention in the room is directed towards Roger-- even the cyclops seems to be looking wistfully his way-- entranced, alarmed, bored in turn, but in the end, his expression obscure and shrouded, he is only giving his attention to one thing - Rafa's knees.
The artistic vision of the ATP photographer knows no bounds.
This one simply defies all analysis. A success, I think.

Date: 2009-11-22 12:36 am (UTC)Perhaps that's not really Rafa in the picture, though, if he's been eaten by the fireplace of doom, like some sort of teind to tennis hell. Perhaps it's the Rafa-bot!!

Date: 2009-11-22 01:12 am (UTC)Omg, the Rafabot! That's why he looks so happy - it's because of the successful infiltration of the group. I think Mandbot suspects though.

Date: 2009-11-22 01:54 am (UTC)I could be voluntarily lewd in my interpretation, but I think he's *really* looking at Rafa stroking his wrist.

Date: 2009-11-22 02:22 am (UTC)...and dammit, I just scrolled up to look at it some more and noticed that Roger appears to have a slight case of what appears to be male camel toe in it and I cannot unsee this anymore :((((
Wow, this comment makes me seem like a serial crotch-starer. Uhhh *shifty-eyes*

Date: 2009-11-22 04:20 am (UTC)the last photo is a definite success especially in comparison to last year's Mafia style.
Oh but Rafa, why so pretty? for that in this photo your the mummy but I would think they take turn;)

Date: 2009-11-22 01:40 pm (UTC)I do love the way Rafa looks far more debonair sitting in that chair than Roger. Roger looks like he's doing the Vic Reeves thigh-rub. I think we all know why.

Date: 2009-11-22 11:04 pm (UTC)Am I going nuts or does the second pic look very photoshoppy? Like there's a sort of outline round the boys, esp. Roger and Rafa? Like they were sat in different chairs or something, and it's been superimposed....?

Date: 2009-11-25 03:08 pm (UTC)LOLed hard at Mandy in the second pic, whose foot seemed to be put in the fireplace while he was all showing off!
Oh btw, I like your new layout. It's all Japanese and pretty. :D

Date: 2009-11-25 05:12 pm (UTC)That second one, with the identical suits and ties, makes them look like they're all going to the WTF College for Hot Tennis Guys.
(And Rafa and Roger have better smiles than the other guys.)
(Also, I like the new layout - pretty!)
