Things that make you go hmmm?

While the puritans and censorship nazis at Facebook do everything in their power to remove all signs of nudity OR implied nudity from that social media site, god bless the country of Finland that is producing a postage stamp (that’s right, to put on cards and letters that even children might see) based on a Tom of Finland illustration.  Goes to show not everyone shares Facebook’s ridiculous “Community Standards” view of nudity.

Delighted to report that three of my five submissions to the 2014 Seattle Erotic Arts Festival have been selected by the jury for exhibition and sale in this year’s visual arts show. I’m very honoured to be one of the 300 artists accepted for this year’s Festival running from May 30 through June 1 at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall.   These are the three limited-edition prints that will be on exhibit (and also for sale.)

I contacted Big Roger again, to do another shoot, our fourth together.  Since it’s still a little early in the year to go outdoors, and we’ve already done several studio shoots, I asked if he had any locations he’d like to shoot at.  He mentioned an indoor pool, with hot tub and sauna.  He then went on to say that over 10 years ago, he had done his very first shoot at this same location with photographer Ace Bannon.  We both liked the idea of revisiting the pool and paying homage to his modelling career over the past decade.  Roger didn’t want it to become a shoot that just mirrored that original one and for me, I wanted the new images to be imprinted with my personal style (and not so secretly I wanted my photos to be better.)  Here are some shots from our shoot with several shots from the earlier one beside it.  I truly think that Roger has just gotten better with age.  And if you want to see (a lot) more of him, check out his website: BigRoger.com
