Welcome

The fundamental purpose behind creating such a meeting point, as the name would suggest, is centred on exploring the concept of ripened to perfection.

This will occur through the lenses of the erotic, exotic and aesthetic. There will be an eclectic range of perspectives, interpretations and definitions of just what the term ripened to perfection may actually mean. Our intention is that all of these are worthy of further discussions and visual celebrations.

If it can be said that, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, is not ripened to perfection based on a very similar highly personalised viewpoint? Knowing the optimum moments to gather and savour something, to our minds, extends well beyond the culinary.

Thoughts and reports on the arts, fine foods, wine, locations and other hedonistic experiences we may also occur here. The sharing and savouring of such delights is intrinsically linked to our personal meaning of ripened to perfection.

The conversation and content will unashamedly be fashioned for people who are well vintaged. Although this will not be at the exclusion of the wealth of other erotic and visually artistic subject matter. 

The discussions and imagery we showcase and invite are intended to be fully inclusive and open to all life styles and preferences. As mentioned three key themes and creative expression will guide the ripened to perfection conversations and visual imagery.

These are the Aesthetic or Exotic or Erotic. Interconnect them if you so desire, but do tell or show what they mean to you. More updates and galleries to follow soon – any initial thoughts and contributions most welcome.

Thank you for visiting.

N.B. If you are the copyright holder, model, artist or photographer of any image or content published at this location and you want it credited or removed, please notify us asap and we will resolve any such requests.

Internet Reacts to Nude Photos of an Elderly Couple JUNE 27TH, 2016

A series of nude portraits showing an older, interracial couple is winning the hearts of many on Facebook.

The following image, which was taken by Arizona-based photographer Jade Beall, has been shared more than 15,000 times and racked up 21,000 likes on the social media platform. The people in the photo are 75-year-old Gerry and 70-year-old Darwin, “beloveds for over 20 years,” Beall wrote.

“I refuse to accept the wide spread (mostly Western) [sic] human belief system in regards to what is beautiful, especially when it comes to the sacred vessel we call our body,” wrote Beall, who is starting a new series on couples over the age of 60. “Why do we accept to believe that one thing must be more beautiful than another? Why cannot we embrace a million-billion definitions of beautiful?”

Beall told ATTN: via email that her new photo series of elders has been a long time coming, as a lot of elderly individuals have expressed to her that they feel “invisible in our culture” today:

“I have been wanting to create a series of elders as so many women, and men, write me expressing how they feel invisible in our culture. Finding willing models has been a challenge, but Gerry and Darwin said yes and we had so much fun in the shoot. I knew people would like the photo, but I am shocked at how far it has reached, 2.8 million people according to my [Facebook] analytics.”

Beall said she has come to see that “the world is ready to expand [its] definition of beautiful and [she hopes] to do a book on this precious subject.”

Gerry, the woman in the photo, told Beall: “I love my body. I use a cane, [I] am having vision problems and my breasts reach to my waist, but you know what? I like me!”

It is, we believe, currently impossible to do so.

We are in our mid sixties and believe we are representative of a huge pool of active, modern thinking, physically fit and sexually informed people. Yes that includes the often mentioned “boomers” and the creators and participants of the free love movements and sexual revolution.

Yet despite this agency this demographic are simple not catered for hardly anywhere. Not featured within sensitively designed and produced pornography, visual arts, much erotic literature or mature narratives or celebrated in creative image making – especially photography.

An untapped market, growing in number and wealth! You would think the business case would be very convincing!

The imagery, which is typically available, is what we refer to as “pink” low level and totally non-erotic mainstream porn exposures or “flashes”. It is rather sad and reminiscent of early “dirty ”magazines of the past sold in brown paper bags.

The other attempts are to be found in the many so-called “amateur” porn postings that have such poor production values they are impossible to be bothered with and show mechanical sex, not erotica (Humans rutting is not at all our sort of cuisine”.

Oh yes and do not start us on the so called disgustingly named and derogatory term “granny porn”, or older people with younger “hot” bodies and the so-called cougars etc., etc. Go away mainstream porn – you have enough of a market to last a lifetime of profits!

So it is our view that we people of a fine vintage need to reclaim and redefine the current narrow clichéd concept and lens of “what beauty and the erotic looks like”.

To demand that the sort of amazing high quality erotic imagery featuring younger subject matter (that can be found on numerous sites and blogs) become more inclusive to all ages and sexual preferences and lifestyles. That the limited range of erotic imagery made that embraces a feminine sensitivity and perspective join with us and also feature the mature examples that are available.

It is time to feature all those who are ripened to perfection, both physically and by life experiences. Let us become a key part of the celebration and creation of a realistic erotic milieu.

If anyone online has found such examples or content please send us a link.

CARAVAGGIO

Created, formed and defined by light – the very  essence of photograph.

So why does not one of these high key creative images feature mature people as the subject matter? Why? The lighting and composional devices employed would lend themselves to capturing those that are ripened to perfection. So why not – a bias agaist the mature body and face? Or a bias towards youth – worshiping as if it was a permanent state. Or recording youth before it fades and evolves into what we fear most?

A collection of images focused on the aesthetic sensibilities of Japanese arts, cultural and landscape.

The aesthetic sensibilities, artisanship and uniqueness of Japanese arts, culture, architecture and landscape. I feel it deeply inside me and it assist to inform my design contemplations and creative visualisations. Open our eyes and mind to a richness informed and ripened to perfection over much time. The symetrical and assymetrical joined in harmony.
