Resting on the Rocks, April — Split Lip Magazine

Collaged photos. A man leans on a white rock retaining wall, his fly suggestively open. His upper body is a silhouette cutout of another image, ghostly and sensual. Within the cutout is part of a bare torso and arm, also leaning against the rock. — “Resting on the Rocks, April” by Michael Young.
