He's A Celebrity...Let Me In There!

Pretty much everyone who goes on 'I'm A Celebrity...Let Me Out Of Here, has already sort of ceased being an actual celebrity. That being said, the UK version certainly seems to attract a bit more attention than the US installments.

First off, the UK version is running it's 12th series with the US barely able to sustain ratings for two outings. Last years US version had such stellar names as the talent impaired Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt and Rod Blagojevich's wife Patti.

The UK version at least seems able to attract a little man candy, some of whom bare a little skin. I loved the video a few seasons ago of Star Trek's George Takei rubbing a little lotion on the ass of Eastender's Joe Swash. (You can see it HERE:)

The latest installment gives us former WBA heavyweight champion, the incredible David Haye. Haye did not seem to mind showing off, the piece of art, which is his ass while showering. Although Haye has retired from the sport, glad he did not disappear completely.

Magnified: The Photography of Stanley L. Moore

'When I was nine I saved coupons and sent away for my first camera, a simple box using 620 roll film. So began a lifelong interest in making pictures. As technology changed I progressed to Instamatic, 35mm, medium and large format, and finally to digital. But PHOTOGRAPHY remained. 55 years on I continue my passion.'
Stanley L. Moore

If your a fan of the male form in photography, you most likely have enjoyed images of model Nick Wolanski. Nick has been featured on FH several times over the past several years. (HERE:) When I recently saw an image of him, standing in front of a doorway, wearing nothing but dog tags around his neck, I knew I wanted to find out more about the person behind the lens. Most of the photographers whose work of Nick I have used before were based in the UK, but these shots were shot a little closer to home by Houston photographer Stanley L Moore.

Stanley L Moore photographs men. Yes I know, all of the photographers I profile shoot men, but not all of them have matured so beautifully into their masculinity as the men Stanley shoots. This maturity is not about age, it is more organic, almost primal in nature. It is more strength and power, muscle and testosterone based. Physique Photography, the shooting of body builders, athletes and fitness models was really part of the birth, and a huge part of the history of capturing the male form. As time goes on, there seem to be fewer and fewer photographers who have physique as their focus. It is really a distinct area of focus, with style and fashion secondary to overall presentation of the body and muscle definition.

It is always interesting to find out about the other jobs the artist I profile have had. I think Stanley L. Moore is my first chemist. His background is scientific. In addition to photography, Stanley loves all things scientific; astronomy, physics, chemistry and biology. Science, like photography, requires great detail and a high degree of precision. Both are made that much more challenging for the artist due to him being partially blind.

'I lost my right eye in a childhood accident. My left eye has had numerous problems the last five years or so. First cataracts, then several retinal detachments with consequent eye surgeries, the latest just in October. I am unable to drive due to poor vision and photography can be difficult. But auto focus cameras help me to keep on photographing. I must use a magnifier to see the screen on my camera and editing is a challenge. Having one eye means I cannot see 3D so flat photographs come naturally to me as that is how I see the world.'

Not that Stanley is complaining, he believes you have to deal with what life gives you. The artist is very happy that he is still able to indulge in his passion for photography.

'I am just a retired guy who like to make photographs of muscular men.'

Why Is It?

Some hot men open their mouths and instantly become ugly.

Other men, maybe not traditionally thought of as attractive open their mouths, and instantly become incredibly hot!


I am on the Nicholas David Train!
