Ashley's image

This is a picture of a women with a surf board. It is taken as a close-up shot on a beach. She is obviously not wearing much of anything. The background colors are very bland. Her swimming-suit and board are very bright. I believe the camara man did this to bring attention to her body. The lighting is bright around her colorful image as well. This picture could have the meaning that this girl is waiting for "someone". I also portray this image as being a sexual one. One may think the board could be something else, i.e. a huge male penis.
I chose this image to share because so many other pictures are like this one. The typical women in a swimming-suit. Society is very centered around these types of images. Why is this? Why can't we celebrate a fully clothed, (confident in herself), picture of women? I am not saying everyone does this, but many tend to gravitate to these images.
