DUDES, BROS & GENTLEMEN
The Man Show
Men - they are everywhere. Women are photographed constantly, but what about the lowly male of the species? Sure, they're not pretty, they don't smell that good, they aren't curvey and when they laugh they don't make that lovely lilting sound those lucky women do. Men are different! Sweating and swearing and grunting their way through life, clawing their way from crisis to crisis, hunting and gathering to collect the tools and toys they need to survive; men are purpose-built. They lift weights, sing songs, write words, fight fights and make machines, all in common purpose to keep home and hearth secure. A fraternity united by the dark horizon. Because nerd or blowhard, hipster or gangster, dude, bro or gentleman, all men eventually face the same truth: live today while you can, because tomorrow the short straw belongs to you. We all know the unspoken rule: "women and children first!" And so men yearn to adventure, some in flak jackets and some in bowties, in a bid to delay the inevitable. But ultimately the sea can't be held back, every problem will not gain a solution and the walls of time can not hold. And so into the void men go.
This month at 1650 it's all about the man of the house. We pointed our cameras at the UN-fairer sex this month as 1650 pays tribute to DUDES, BROS AND GENTLEMEN!
