The model seems caught unawares, literally "with his pants down." Like so many of Mister Caldwell's shots, this seems like a still from a movie, with implications buzzing.

Well, talk about "the look of love." Somehow seventies, because of the cap.

Oh, for how many centuries painters and sculptors tried to capture just this sort of springy moment, before photorgaphy and Mister Caldwell's eye caught it for us.

The outfit seems silly to me, so on one level the photo doesn't appeal, but as a composition of colors and forms in space, it works delightfully.

This is so strong, so moving, it needs no comment. All I can say is that once again Mister Caldwell's exploration of his means leads him to a point resembling 1930's journalistic photography. He gives his subject the monumental dignity portraitists strove for then.

When faced with an unusual or picturesque subject, be straightforward, I always say, and let the viewer check out the elements one by one, top to bottom! It surely works in this case.

I can't tell if the model is thrilled to be allowed to get out of that Spandex, or if he's dubious of what might await him next, but the complexity of his emotion is certainly captured, and in a vivid baroque shape against that velvety void.

Mister Caldwell's sensitivity to the beauty of such mundane sights as this and their photographic possibilities transport one to the very earliest days of photography, when all was wonder and discovery.

Fantastic stories expressed only by footprints. Perhaps a dance-class called on account of snow? A spontanous game of commuter Twister? An interrupted convention of invisible men?

Mister Caldwell's portraits so bring out each sitter's personality that they always seem like celebrity photos. This one looks like it could go on a commemorative stamp for the gentleman.

X marks the spot? Very interesting compositional dynamics in a subject handled unusually. If this is a jump for joy, the somber lighting doesn't covney that. It's almost like he's jumped up in terror because a spotlight hit him--or is he jumping to attract attention because he's lost and someone's found him?
