What a great action shot. The foreshortened anlge is unsettling to look at because his arm looks distorted. He must do this everyday from the look of those muscles.
I don't think there's anything wrong with re-posted photos. However, I think a small notation might help ease some of the confusion for people that have seen them already.

If your posting old photos, I have a tiny request of sorts. A man in a cape, tied at the collar, which is an excellent shot. I think it was posted slightly before this one was posted first time.
this is my favorite picture of yours, even though it has nothing to do with clothing. i loved it the first time you posted it and i'm glad you posted it again.

That's so New York. It was a sure sign of Spring when the shirtless boys played outside my high school! Thanks for the memory! ~m
How do you call this sport? Handball? Isn't it rather the "bare-hand" version of the "pelote basque"?

I think it's a beautiful photo. The calm, dancer-like expression, and the almost frightening exertion in the body.
The only thing about reposting: It is nice for us who follow your work to have some context for the progress of the fashions that catch your eye. When it comes to photos like this, you are an artist. And it helps to understand an artists work to know where, in their career, they were when the art was rendered.
Lastly, as a somewhat new reader (only 6 months, or thereabouts), well, I liked your photos so much that I went back through them. Particularly, I wanted to know what people were wearing when the weather was similar to what it is like now (Portland weather is just slightly different). How were people you saw dealing with chill, or rain, or what-have you, and still looking interesting. WIthout a date, it's harder to know what I'm looking at!
So . . . somehow you've breached readers' trust by having the gall--the gall!--to repost your own photo, on your own, non-commercial site, without noting that you'd offered it last year. How dare you! Oh well . . . it's a really cool picture, and the site keeps getting better and better. Thanks.
Sculpture...reminds me of those "écorché" bronze statuettes from the 15. and 16. century...

I recognized the photo from before as well -- once seen, it is impossible to forget.
May I make a suggestion -- instead of just having everything in the archives by date, I'd love to see you catalog some of your favorites by subject matter -- bike messengers, older men in Chinatown and/or Harlem, whatever; couples in SoHo, Spring in NYC, beautiful mature women, shop windows, etc.
As if you didn't have anything else to do, right? Wonder what would happen if you asked us to go through the archives and vote?

Try playing it. And you will understand!
Anyway, lovely pic Sart. One thing I love about this site is that it's cultural observation, not just fashion pix. You have an anthropologist's/historian's eye as well as (most importantly) that of an artist.
I love that you re post some of your work-from your own posts and ones that were posted on style.com In fact the other day when you had trouble uploading new shots I went back through the archive. Your work is beautiful. The archive is testament to your talents.
I'll happily view any shot one hundred times. keep it up and post whatever you like.
"The blog has grown so much since I first posted this image that i thought some new viewers might enjoy it,
Any harm in that?"
Nope! Especially when its such an amazing photo that you are reposting. I missed it the first time as I had not yet found this blog.
With that said, God bless the human body.

I can actually see the muscles on his face.
Great shot! I am glad you posted it again as I didn't see it before.
Great job this blog is. It's the first page I open on my computer in the morning, and the last before I leave work.
I am a designer based in Lagos and your blog as been very instructive for me to see new lines, new forms and new ways in which clothes are displayed around the world.
his body is equivalent to that of one of our largest icons, BRUCE LEE. Sick photo, it should go in your first show, limited edition, you will sell it out.
Wow, what a body... Double wow, what a pic... You're definitely the best photographer to me. And I love that you posted it, cause I came across your blog just a month ago. This pic is my favourite too. Keep going with your blog, it's wonderful.
Incredible shot. It's fascinating to analyze his entire body's movement and contortions. The foreshortening of the arm makes it look freaky though. Brr.
Just found this blog and am enjoying it! Great shots!

post a commentMuscle striations are going to be big for spring, on dit.
that's an old image isn't it?
amazing what his body's doing
One of my all time favourite shots of yours. Love how the blog is growing, wishing you all the best from London.

He reminds me Iggy Pop :-)
with the exception of subways what's more new york than handball?
Didn't you post this photo a long time ago? Wasn't it in Chinatown?
Seems to me that if you are going to repeat photos from previous years you should say so. You posted this one last year.
this is a spectacular photo.
What a great action shot. The foreshortened anlge is unsettling to look at because his arm looks distorted. He must do this everyday from the look of those muscles.
yes
I did post this photo about a year ago but it has been off-line as a draft for quite a while.
The blog has grown so much since I first posted this image that i thought some new viewers might enjoy it,
Any harm in that?
That is a fantastic shot!
cool photo! i'm glad you posted it, i haven't been around this blog long enough to have seen it before. :) some people are so nasty!
One of the army of
Haven't seen this shot
So pleased you posted it again
Very strong and powerful image
Love it! so "summer in NYC" on such a wintery day---and I don't mind at all that it's an older shot. What's with some people? pick pick pick.
That's a great photo! I'm new to the site also, so haven't seen it before. And some people are probably negative all day long.
Lovely shot.
It almost looks like a choreographed dance, especially with the expression on his face. Very graceful.
I thought it looked familiar.

I also noticed this picture as a repeat. It's fine though, I soon figured it out after reading the comments section!
What is interesting to me is how you captured the contorted state of his left hand. How strange!
Holy Crap! classic NY Sart! Don't let people try and micro manage your blog! I love that you reposted! Why are there so many whiners...?

keep it up and post whatever you like.
I have seen this shot, but like re-reading a book you have read
many years ago, it may tell a slightly different story....
phenomenal... a beautiful slice of life
wow...
Pictures like these go to show how diverse the five boroughs really are. From Madison Avenue to the West Village to a neighborhood in Brooklyn.

I liked the image of his muscles contorting and you have got it at the right moment! Visiting your blog after ages and its made me very happy :)
who the f""k cares that it has posted already, nice pic, final
Ans by the way, it is a favorite, 1, 5 years ago, it stays a favorite!
Keep on the good work, gays like you keep the dream alive
You can change the world with doing something whitout the "education" for "it"
See what you do, and not what you have done for it, just see!
It's his favorites, not the most recent photos, stop being so damn slow.
