SSSSH!
GALS GAMS GARTERS
Shy Shamed Secret Shadowed Hidden began as a blog. It was immediately successful with photography scholars and organizations, erotic art fans, vernacular photograph collectors and the general public. Due to the adult nature of the photographs, it was shut down by the provider. At the time it was closed, SSSSH! was attracting 40,000 hits per month, with no advertising or promotion other than mentions on blog sites and word of mouth. This SITE CONTAINS THE ORIGINAL ESSAY BY JIM LINDERMAN, Selected cropped images and brief material from the original blog. THE HARDCOVER BOOK is 80 pages, over 100 photographs, with essays. HERE

Original Introduction
A historic and Personal collection of erotic vernacular photographs from the earliest days of photography to the snapshot. Included are struggling camera club models, furtive photos of one-night stands, amateur polaroid pictures of the spouse and more...all displaying the characteristics hinted at by the title. Frequently beautiful but often not in the least alluring, what emerges is a collective authenticity and humanity that cuts through all artifice of market driven notions of beauty, attraction and lust. The photographs (and on occasion the hapless models) are bent and bruised, but they exhibit a raw authenticity seldom seen in any context. All anonymous and unattributed, the collection is thought provoking, disturbing and ultimately entertaining in a manner never before seen. Assembled by Victor Minx, the pseudonym of a prominent collector, this is a striking exhibit of images never intended to be seen.
Full Images are available to interested parties on request.
