4 - 20 - 17  Photographed, Robert, a super, cool, creative guy this afternoon in midtown NYC and it was outdoors.  He was open-minded about doing and I saw thru my camera that he was feeling very free and comfortable with his body, game for it all.  He made suggestions to me and didn't mind that someone might be walking by or caught a glimpse of him.  I loved the fact that it didn't matter to him and this allowed me to be most comfortable doing the photo shoot outdoors, since it is still illegal, for some silly reason, not to be taking nude photos outdoors.  We weren't doing the photos to be seen by others, but careful of where I took the photos and it all worked out very well, as you can see from the photographs.  Beautiful light was going on and it fell on his body, accenting it beautifully.

1 - 14 - 2017  Mike is the first guy that I photographed in this New Year.  He celebrated his 26th birthday this past December.  I met him outside Urban Outfitters on Fifth Avenue and asked if I can photograph him and he agreed.  He's an aspiring model/actor, tall over 6" and a very cut-body with a 6-pack.  He was born in NYC, but went out to Colorado with his parents when he was young and now has returned, since their are more opportunities for his profession here.  He lives in Harlem and photographed him in his room.  He told me that he works out 7 days a week and it definitely shows, very motivated.  Super cool guy, super cool body, super nice guy.  I'm sure his dream will be realized, since he said this year is his year.  Go for it!

9 - 26 - 16  Photographed Marcus today in Brooklyn and on his 25th birthday.  He wanted to have a new experience and open to being photographed.  Very cool guy, creative and is a musician.  He lives with his girlfriend and showed me a photo of the beautiful couple.  They met while out of state and moved to Brooklyn, two years ago.  The light was perfect and didn't take me long to be satisfied with photographing him.

8 - 22 - 16  Went to Brooklyn to photograph Mark in his apartment.  Cool guy, cool look, super hair and body, is a tall guy and 27 yrs. of age.  Very creative, works in the garment district and will be going to FIT to become an image consultant.  He was comfortable being nude and easy to photograph and noticed his facial structure with high cheekbones and lots of overall definition.   Of course, I could have continued photographing him, but had to get back to NYC, before the 5 o'clock crowd.

6 - 27 - 16  Photographed Jayson today, early eve, around 5:30 pm, outdoors in midtown.  Lives in NYC and is a very cool guy, super looking, light colored eyes with star tattoos around one eye, on his neck and in great shape and form.  Plus, he's smart, too, very impressive, since he told me that he is 25 yrs. of age and thought he was older, very mature.  Difficult finding an area that was devoid of people and from watchful eyes of surrounding hi-rise apartment buildings and office buildings.  But, he was game and of course, I am always game to do.  He trusted me and felt comfortable, once we met.  Very nice to know.  Love the challenge and he was open to the experience and going for it, being fearless.  Would have liked to have done more photographs of him and will redo in the Fall, when there are less people around and on a weekend.  Very much looking forward to seeing him again.  Very enjoyable conversation and he enjoyed hearing about some of my 1980's photographic experiences that continue to this day.

3 - 27 - 16  Sunny, mild day and went to The Standard Hotel, Highline to photograph Omar.  He's cute, has lots of tattoos, very creative, arty and cool.  He was comfortable being nude and liked the fact that I was doing his nude photos.  Easy to photograph, relaxed and had Perrier awaiting my arrival.  The light was soft and perfect to get the pixs that I was going for.  Nice guy, looking good!

3 - 5 - 16  Went to Jersey City to photograph Howie in his brownstone that has been in his family for a long time.  He's 52 yrs. of age, has an online radio broadcast station and is a happy guy.  Photographed him in available light in one of his extra rooms and also in the bathroom where the light was the best.  This was his first time being photographed by a female and was comfortable doing so, even though when I spoke to him on the phone, said he was a bit nervous.  When meeting me, all was very fine.  Nice guy and jovial.
