Ecclesiastical Lingerie (or Lack of It)





Now that I am at our very own, Plug N'Work, have become an avid Facebook user (had to give in to its amazing powers of "replicability" and awareness; kind of like accepting that Lala Rudge is effective at selling clothes). Well amongst the heavy amount of inanities one comes across, I saw the photo above here and was stunned.

Beyond pondering: why had I come up with something like this when shooting?  (in addition to admiring the amazing beauty of this photograph)..... or having thoughts of Monica Belluci in Giuseppe Tonatore's film Malena...


 ...or even Claudia Cardinale in the film "Il Gattopardo"...


..my mind jumped immediately to last year's shoot by Colombian photographer Mauricio Velez on pedophilia in the Catholic Church. The essay caused huge commotion, why as always was picked up by an "espertinho", in this case the editor of SOHO magazine - a meld of GQ, FHM in Colombia.

Here are some of Velez' photos... judge for yourself:
