The Body Book: The Good Fight

The saga continues. Each time Facebook bounces me, I feel like it is my duty to put my artwork on the net, somehow. Usually, my blog seems to be the best place for it. After all, it is MY blog.
I guess these anatomical landscapes are the pics that did it this time. Personally, I don't find the human body offensive or racy. I think it is beautiful and I say, with no modesty at all, that when I am photographing it, the human body is CERTAINLY beautiful!

I really like the term 'anatomical landscapes'. It is what I see when I look at the body - both as a photographer and as a fitness fanatic.

Is there anything, after all, unseemly about this photo of a beautiful pregnant woman and her doting husband? Not to these eyes. Not to many eyes, I imagine.


As a photographer and as a gay male, I don't find anything EVER offensive about a man without his shirt...





Artistically speaking... do you know what you are looking at?




What I love about the anatomical landscapes is how, if I do my job right, the viewer has to (sometimes) really LOOK to see what they are seeing. It requires some thought, some work. I like work.






In my life I have been asked to do this kind of shot (below) for a LOT of women. You should see them. They're beautiful.
Here we have another of my landscapes. When shooting the body it is ALL about shooting the shadow.








Maybe the man below is the latest photo to get me censored from Facebook. I don't see any more in this picture, though, than I do when I see peoples' photos of their weekends on Fire Island..
Do you see it?
This man seen below is not only wearing his trousers -- he has on a hat!


It's a nice body but it is, after all, just a nice body. For me, this body shot is all about the face.


Below is one of my favourite of the lanscapes! Looks like something you would ski on, no?

You can't even tell if he is naked, can you? He could have on undies that the viewer doesn't see.. It is all about the suggestion. Suggest everything but withould everything.




This man is wearing his blue jeans. Nothing wrong with a man in his blue jeans and no shirt, is there? If there is, I'm in trouble. I walk around all the time dressed like this.

I am so jealous of this woman. Aren't you jealous of this woman?


I mean, really, LOOK at her muscles!!

I'm jealous.
