The man in this photograph works as a sideshow performer— I leave it up to you whether he’s with a travelling circus, a carnival, or simply some kind of amusement park. His snakes are his pets, his companions, and his livelihood. He has never found anyone who understands his love and fascination for them… except maybe the compelling man lurking at the back of the crowd for several performances in a row. No shifters, no vampires, and no angels, please.
Photo Description:
Shot of man from the pecs down, very nicely toned, wearing nothing but a fairly large, thick snake covering most of his groin area— on further inspection, it is possible to see some dangly bits. Hmm. Is this a man hiding his snake behind his snake, or is it an ultimatum: love me, love my snake? Whatever the case, the man who makes peace with the sideshow performer’s snake is one lucky guy!
