In 2003 when I was living in San Francisco, a fellow photographer, Howard Roffman told me that he’d shot an amazingly beautiful young man. He thought Joaquin and I should meet. We did and the resulting ON THE COUCH story at the site is both tender and revealing as Joaquin opened his heart to me. [...]
A reader of my work once told me that he saw the pictures as hard-on charged yet not pornographic. He said, “I think it’s because the flowers and things on your tables are so beautiful.” I enjoy making wherever I live as beautiful as I can. I see a tabletop is a stage – a [...]
What does the dawning of the Age of Aquarius and the Liberation of the Male Ass have in common? Everything. When I was coming out in 1969, a hugely popular song from Hair celebrated the dawn of a new age. Certainly for me, the paradigm began to shift about that time. I was a young [...]
I did not come immediately to my most erotic work. I was taken to that edge step by willing step by men who quite consciously wanted me to shoot their sexual energy. Mike, whom I met in my gym in San Francisco, told me that he wanted to up the heat factor in my work. [...]
Some years back, on Delos, the sacred island the Greeks honor as the birthplace of Apollo, I saw the remains of two giant phalluses at the ruins of the Temple of Dionysus. What, I wondered, had caused us to loose our minds – our connection to the goodness of our dicks? This temple, with its profoundly beautiful adornments [...]
Over the years, I’ve met a number of Mormon and ex-Mormon men. Some have been missionaries who’ve come to my door. Some – the EX ones – have been men I’ve dated. My acquaintance with the faith has led me to several conclusions. Mormon men are often incredibly handsome – clean cut – great complexions [...]
I save the last of these blogs on our London Portfolio for my lover/partner. Ben is UK born and bred – from Yorkshire, a particularly beautiful part of England. And he is an exceptionally beautiful man (with an accent that also charms me :-) Of course, when you are as I am, an artist know [...]
Ian is a Londoner with a body reminiscent of the kind of figures drawn by 19th century artist – fit, sturdy and naturally toned. We shot Ian with some of the sculptures we’d shot at the Victoria and Albert Museum in mind for future mergers of a real man and a sculpted one. We also [...]
The bedroom in our London apartment had an unusual configuration of mirrors and windows. That space became an additional stage we used for our London shoots. Leo, who you see first, is a Brazilian who we’ve featured at the site and in recent posts here and on my Facebook posts. Trevor is second – in [...]
I’ve often thought that moving for a month or so each year to a new environment in a new country to live the life of the locals would be a perfect way to keep growing and learning. Ben’s and my time in London this winter – three months – was a realization of that dream. [...]
