R.I.P Partners


There was a time networks gave television shows time to find an audience. Family Ties, Cheers, Seinfeld all took a season or two to find an audience. Partners may not have been Cheers but it was growing on me. Last weeks episode, which focued on the two most appealing actors, Sophia Bush and Brandon Routh, was one of the best, and I hoped that it might find an audience. Too bad CBS didn't give it time. I can't understand the audience that continues to turn into the generic and average Rules Of Attraction. So many sit-coms more deserving have failed to take off on CBS on Monday Night. But, given Monday night was the launching point for two of television biggest embarrassments, Two And A Half Men and 2 Broke Girls, maybe Partners was let off easy... I hope if Man Kind is alive in 2000 years, neither of these two show (both are paint by number and incredibly lazy) will be held up as examples of what we considered quality television in 2012...

Chasing Egoi


Not sure what it was about Spanish professional bicycle racer Egoi Martinez that made him so popular, but at this past years Tour de France he became the Pied Piper of naked male streakers!






Cristian by Mount Photography


Last month, as part of my Halloween themed posts, I featured the work of Mark Montovio from Mount Photography. (Expressive Masquerade) One of my favorite models featured was Cristian, who, even with the mask, was someone who demanded a bit more coverage.


18 year Cristian from Cádiz, Spain can be found travelling between Gibraltar and Cadiz and although new to modeling is intensely motivated to work on his craft. When he first got in touch with Mark last year, he was wanting to see, in his own words, 'If he was any good at it!'


Cristian certainly has an incredible look, an incredible body and a great face with alluring brown eyes and beautiful unique features. Although just 18, Cristian also combines youthful, especially with his killer grin, with a maturity, both in appearance an in professionalism. But even with great looks, not all young models are always able to transfer this in front of the lens.


When Mark first asked him what sort of stuff he wanted to try out, Cristian said he was interested in doing underwear work. The young model had been training hard for several years for the opportunity to try modeling and was happy with his achievements. Mark wanted to wait until he was just a little older and about five months older they did their first shoot which included the first pic with Cristian in jeans at the beginning of this piece.


'Cristian was very pleased with the results of the first shoot and very eager that I should tell him whether he had any potential. Clearly it was noticeable even though I had only worked with him for under an hour that he could do very well. After that shoot he just wanted to arrange more and I tried to fit them in as and when I could. In total we have shot three times.'


'During the second shoot, Cristian was determined to push boundaries. I'm always happy to go at the model's pace when I think that nurturing and encouraging will bring results. This shoot was very productive and Cristian had lots of very positive comments resulting in his first paid photoshoot in Holland. To prepare for that shoot he again asked me to help him develop further and that was when we did the masked shots.'
