The (almost) naked cowboy doesn't try to look like a statue! Stunning "work", great candid shot! Is that his hobby or business? V

globalgadabout		24-Aug-2011 14:14

Well this guy has been around a long time, there used to be a Naked Cowgirl as well, a lot more interesting for the guys on this list:-)

Guest		23-Aug-2011 18:31
Ouch, he is too heavy handed, and his smooch clumsily misses the mark. The guitar is his titillating prop. The "real" image is the young girl, upper left wearing glasses and espadrilles, her mouth in a kind of rictus of suprise, anticipation, amusement, maybe saying something? Her apparent friend in red sneakers, holding the camera (Oh, wait till the folks back home see this!), and looking back at her, completes the duo of adolescent adventures in the Big Apple.

Colin Storey		23-Aug-2011 18:27
Great candid of this character. v

Tom LeRoy		23-Aug-2011 18:24
