Feminine dominatrix/tribal subculture possibly evolving by mistreatment by males, typically paternal, identity. Printed on 11” x 14” (27.9 cm x 35.6 cm) on Fuji Crystal Archive paper. Signed. 2) Photographic Print. “Séparation de l'esprit”. Walk-in new age subculture, beauty walk-in to authority/alien. Printed on 11” x 14” (27.9 cm x 35.6 cm) on Fuji Crystal Archive paper. Signed. In addition to photographing beautiful women modeling Swimwear and Fashion, which Waitman admits is the best way to decorate a body, Waitman enjoys the opportunities to shoot city street scenes without people in the frames. In photographing these scenes Waitman does not have to coordinate people and has more time to devote to experimentation. Waitman has also developed a process of preserving digital data - "work" - (the "slides and negatives" of the modern photographer who shoot digital format). Understanding the value of an artist archive which would withstand time well beyond the life of the artist, even a century into the future, despite the certain unknown future of technology, he embarked upon solving the challenge of digital preservation.

As early as 1950, David Riesman distinguished between a majority, "which passively accepted commercially provided styles and meanings, and a 'subculture' which actively sought a minority style ... and interpreted it in accordance with subversive values". In his 1979 book Subculture the Meaning of Style, Dick Hebdige argued that a subculture is a subversion to normalcy. He wrote that subcultures can be perceived as negative due to their nature of criticism to the dominant societal standard. Hebdige argued that subcultures bring together like-minded individuals who feel neglected by societal standards and allow them to develop a sense of identity.



1) Walk-Ins.

A walk-in is a new age concept of a person whose original soul has departed his or her body and has been replaced with a new soul, either temporarily or permanently.



2) Dominatrix "Amazonian/Sheeba".

Gender roles refer to the set of social and behavioral norms that are considered to be socially appropriate for individuals of a specific sex in the context of a specific culture, which differ widely between cultures and over time. There are differences of opinion as to whether observed gender differences in behavior and personality characteristics are, at least in part, due to cultural or social factors, and therefore, the product of socialization experiences, or to what extent gender differences are due to biological and physiological differences.
