People need beautiful images of beautiful men! I know this because I need them. And I can’t think of anybody better to bring those images to you than me.
People frequently inform me of upcoming events or parties, and I appreciate that. But the moments I capture require a certain stillness. These are moments where time seems to stop, and a man can appreciate the wonder of his own beauty, and evoking it in another.
I’ve been chatting with some interested straight guys lately about my photography. I’ve explained that (1) I don’t need to lay a finger on them and (2) I believe gay men will visually savor them in a way their wives and girlfriends simply cannot.
America treats cameras like guns, and guns like cameras.
I love photographing men, for certain. But having such a lovingly and overwhelmingly supportive audience makes it such a joy. Thank you all! ❤️
And another voyage is nearly complete. Perhaps I take so many photographs because, “All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.”
Did anyone ever tell you your sexuality was wrong, or needed to be suppressed? Did anyone ever use words to make you feel ugly or inappropriate about how you expressed yourself? Did you believe them? Maybe today is the day you tell those voices that your opinion about you matters more than their opinion about you.
Feeling pleasure while seeing something beautiful is easy to understand. But there’s some pain involved with seeing something unusually beautiful. A few viewers recently have made supportive comments while posting crying emojis. I had found that perplexing, but I shouldn’t. The guys I photograph are so hot it hurts (me). I’ll only ever put out images I find beautiful. But there’s some pain wrapped up in that. And I suppose that’s as it should be!
I just met the sexiest guy. He’s handsome and sweet and hairy and muscled. Will he let me photograph him? I don’t know. But I am honored and humbled anytime a beautiful man gives me the time of day.
These are men I’ve known for months or years, some for a day or two, and some for just a few hours. But I’ve loved all of them. I think I leave behind a piece of my heart each time, but acquire a new gift of gratitude! ❤️
There comes that point where you realize the next step in the adventure isn’t dependent on even one other soul. ✨
Be the change I wish to see in the world!
As we all collectively lose our shit, my goal has been to continue to try to put out good energy. That is still the case. But don’t ever think I’m not feeling all the ups and downs that you all are. xo
Whether with words or images, the intention for me was always to soulfully express appreciation with passion and finesse. (And if I didn’t like something, to shut my mouth!) These uncertain times have caused me to re-commit to this. Wishing love and joyfulness for us all! ❤️
This pandemic shit is stressing me out! ♂️
My friend Eric told me (years ago!) that I should stop photographing for a couple months to catch up on my huge backlog of pictures. I guess now’s the time! (I hope I live long enough to get some of these images out!) … Love & wellness to us all!
Take a walk with me! Tonight I reconnected with my home, Atlanta, and my Soul. Wishing joy and health for all of us.! ❤️✨
Have you ever derived pleasure from a nude model, or a porn star, or a sex worker? If so, take some time to understand the bold hypocrisy in feeling superior to any of them.
Caring for gregarious introverts like me is a real challenge! You can start helping by being sure to remove your clothes when I ask you to. ♂️
Hello from Fort Lauderdale! I wonder if any fun can be had here! ♂️
Happy 2020! ⭐️✨
And my Tumblr isn’t either. My Tumblr is now decidedly SFW, in compliance with their new standards.
That being said, have y'all heard about newtumbl.com ? I don’t know if it’s gonna be a thing, but I’m now on it.
A parting view of Miami. Nearly two months of solid travel is almost over. Photographer John soon becomes photo editor John. I hope I can do justice to the beautiful men who have shared such incredible beauty with me, us. I send them my love and immense gratitude! ❤️
