Thank you for this collection of interesting and frequently handsome images. I particularly like the unselfconscious eroticism of the models, even the ones who are quite exposed.

At first I thought that some of the posts contained duplicates, but on a closer look what I thought were duplicates were simply slightly different poses from the same sessions. I think I did spot one duplicate: the fourth image, sixth row of post 5, filename Ludwig Geier Vintage 30, seems to be the identical shot as the first image, second row of post 9, filename geir1_l.jpg, although the processing is different so that the images look different.

However, with respect, may I suggest that there is potential for confusion in the file names that are used in posts 6 and 9, with a number of duplicate file names used for different images. This creates the possibility of unintentional overwriting of files.

If I've succeeded in keeping my notes straight, the following list of duplicate file names may be of use:

The third image, first row of post 6 has the same name, geier1_l.jpg, as the different second image, first row on post 9 (the shots are very similar, but in fact different).

The fourth image, first row of post 6 has the same name, geier5_l.jpg, as the different fourth image, first row of post 9

The second image, second row of post 6 has the same name, geier7_l.jpg, as the second image, second row of post 9.

The third image, second row of post 6 has the same file name, geier8_l.jpg, as the third image, second row of post 9

The fourth image, second row of post 6 has the same name as fourth image, second row of post 9.

I don't intend any criticism. I realize that you take the images as you find them. I also realize that reorganizing and renaming the images would take some work; I didn't find it easy to identify and list the duplicate names.

Thanks again for these and your other uploads.
