Well I hope he is a grower. They must have given him a cold shower before the pose. Great body. But didn’t they have to work for it as labor?
Jaja yeah I hope he is a GROWER too… and yeah guess they must have given him a cold shower before hand…lol!!! Did who have to work on it for labor? I’m a bit lost in that question.
I must say your stolen photos of David came out much better than mine did when I was in Florence a few weeks ago.
Thanks Nicole… yeah I tried to make them as good as possible with out looking at the screen.
OMG!!!!! I just did the same thing! I found the best spots to get shots w/o getting caught. Of course karma got me and after my 3rd shot my camera died ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bahahahajaja I love ya Andi!!! Yeah I found some good spots to get the shots too….lol!!! Sorry about the karma… I hope mine doesnt die… I love it.
You guys are hilarious. I guess we will never know for sure. Yet the statue is pretty impressive in artistic terms.
Agree Kendie we will never know, but it is impressive!!!
Wow, I thought you were going to write another funny Mona-Lisa-type post too, but you can tell just by reading this how much reverence you had for the statue. When I visit I’ll definitely take the time to see the original.
I don’t think we’ve been conditioned to believe ‘David’ is the perfect body of a man because millions of people for hundreds of years have felt the exact same thing – I profound admiration for the beauty of this statue and its lifelike figure. Cultures and politics have changed over and over, yet we still view this statue with the same idealistic idea of perfection. It’s something inherent, something in us that appreciates ‘David’ the way Michelangelo made him.

Damn Pat, your comment nailed it right on the head. I didn’t think about it like that at all, but after reading your comment… I think you are so right. It can’t be “CONDITIONED” if for so long we have all thought of him as “PERFECTION” great point.
As for making it a funny post… I just couldn’t. I mean really he blew me away and is by far one of my fav things I have seen on my trip so far. I hope you do visit the original one when you visit Florence.
I saw the title and totally thought this post was about me. Sigh…. Great story nonetheless.

Jaime recently posted..Photo Round Up – Week 40
Aw, I love it! I only saw the replica when I was in Florence (I started puking uncontrollably from food poisoning while in line to see the real one…) I need to go back to Italy!
Val recently posted..bats & bamboo in battambang.
Oh you should def go back and see the real one. I know it was between SPAIN & ITALY for ya… Im glad you choose Spain. You will be back in Europe soon I have a feeling. Sucks about the throwing up though…
How did you get to take those photos?? I couldn’t take but one, those people were doing their job so damn well!!!
I was around almost the same time thinking about all the work that Michel Angel have done to get such perfection, and just wondering who was the model.
Yes it’s an amazing statue, and you’re totally right, it worth every penny to see it.
Jaja I wonder all the time… who was the model. Cus damn!!! Yeah it was so tough to get these shots but I got them!!!
