Recommended: Dog Tags (2008)

Recently I had the pleasure of watching 2008's Dog Tags from writer and director Damion Dietz. Dietz, who I knew mostly from his work in comedies has created a truly unique and beautiful relationship based dramatic film.

Above: Bart Fletcher

Dietz creates two very unique and intriguing men in characters Nate and Andy (actors Paul Preiss and Bart Fletcher). Both characters are searching, for belonging, and their place in the world. Both characters are not only interesting, but flawed and lovable. Preiss and Fletcher creating heartbreaking moments as two people who meet up and for a brief time, deeply impact each others lives. Through their interactions, one journey completes and another begins.



The journey both Nate and Andy travel through is beautifully told. Through his writing and exceptional directing, Dietz creates a film I really enjoyed and highly recommend. I love how Dietz leaves so much unexplained, including his main characters sexuality. The film remained my thoughts long after the credits rolled. There is enough nudity to satisfy but it is the relationship between Nate and Andy which is truly fulfilling.

INKED -Part 3- by Hans Fahrmeyer

-Sunday's With Hans-
-Inked (Part 3)-


The word addiction is often thrown out there when discussing those who acquire tattoo after tattoo. Collecting anything to an extreme can become an addiction but none come with quite the same balance of pleasure and pain mixed with personal artistic expression.

There is without a doubt a rush of adrenaline, especially for first timers, most acute just prior to getting your tattoo. The anticipation of the end result, the process the pain. Thoughts of fleeing arise, many do, and there is a danger and risk that can be very attractive.



Endorphins flood the body in response to the pain of the needles, this effect can be powerful and like the high from orgasms is one many wish to repeat. Add to all of this the attention, both positive as well as disapproval (sought by many) and you can connect with the appeal.



Adrenaline and endorphins can also be a part of viewing an exceptional photograph. Hans Fahrmeyer's shots of men with tattoo's are just that. Generally bodies are his focus, but in this series (Part 1 HERE: Part 2 HERE:) bodies are not the focus, but instead the canvas for the art, the colors the message.
