I think the image he's posing in front of is probably in the Goodyear archives. That would be interesting to find.

It almost looks like those two girls are turning their heads away from that guy crowding in on the girl by the tree, as if it were shameful or illicit.

Without descriptive material it is difficult, but something that's great about this database is the ability for instant comparison with like objects. External research, of course, will help determine what an object is, but intuitive visual comparison in some ways is even more fulfilling. Also, on a practical note, like objects online might have the descriptive text one object lacks.

I love how this is an action typically done in a mirror, so the binder in a sense is looking at the viewers and looking at him/herself, but also it can be seen as a reflection of the viewers and their gender identity self-discussions, regardless if they bind. I hope I get the opportunity to see the video this is from at some point.

I like how this is tagged "man" when the title is Centauress. Without her facing forward--how else would we know, after all?
