Admit the effect I have on you (with pleasure, Zana Bayne leather harness photograph)



Found here.

This photograph. There is something about black and white photographs of naked skin -- its textures, the skeleton protruding slightly from underneath, it stretches over -- that is gorgeous, and I am not as strict with my criterions as long as you have a nude and a black and white camera. Quality? Pfft. This, however, is quality, and the skin stretching across the back in contrast and collection with the leather harness stretching across the back, both mimicking and opposing the natural structure of the body. Ahh, this is an incredible way to show an harness. It also makes me think of this:

The latter image makes me think of one of the aspects of harnesses that I am not so acquainted with, namely that of masculinity, warriors, war, defense, fighting, and protection. Would like to learn more about that. Great editorial, will post more photographs from it later on.
