Beautifulmag.com
My favorite website for photography of the male form is beautifulmag.com. They feature only the best of male photography, and all of their photos are clearly watermarked with both the photographer and models. This shows great respect for the art of photography in a world where most web photos are just stolen and turned anonymous.

Mr SF Leather 2015
I had a great time last night taking photos at the Mr SF Leather 2015. My good friend (and model) Daniel DeLage was first runner up. Daniel is contestant number 1 on your left of the following photos. The winner was contestant number 6 at the right of the photos.
Best of Luck To Daniel in Tonight's Mr SF Leather Contest

Workshops on Photography of the Male Nude
I am interested in creating a community of photographers/artists interested in the male figure in the SF Bay Area. As part of this effort, I have been leading several Workshops on Photography of the Male Nude. Each workshop often has a focus on some aspect of photography, including some experimental techniques. The last workshop had the floor covered several inches in flour, creating incredible patterns of "cloud" in the photos. As you can see our workshops have terrific models, including many professional dancers.
Contact me to be added to our mailing list for info on future workshops.
Greatest Influences: Pierre et Gilles
I am a huge fan of the artists Pierre et Gilles. They are a long time couple with one doing the photography and one adding layers of fantasy paint above. I love how their art is a mix of kitsch humor, homo sexiness, and classic beauty. I often wonder how it is to work as a collaboration with another artist, as I have only my own skills and viewpoints to rely on. My own series of Sons of God that dealt with my Catholic upbringing through a gay lens, was a direct tribute to the stylings of Pierre et Gilles.
