Pool rules:
You're not allowed to do anything that begins with the words...
'Hey Everybody, Watch This!!!'
When it comes to pools and oceans, I couldn't think of a better model to visually demonstrate the pros and cons than Angelspins. FH readers are familiar with Angel, and his beautiful body his previous appearances on the site, including my series featuring Mike Tossy's pool work last summer. (End of the Season) Angel also worked with StudioMGPhotography for an ocean shoot, so pulling the two sets of images together seemed the perfect way to go.
Living in California, Angel is close to both swimming pools and the Pacific ocean. I live on the other coast, with the Atlantic lapping the shores., Although I live only about thirty minutes from the ocean, I spent most of my childhood swimming in lakes and pools. We lived by a lake, and when I couldn't swim there, (it often closed mid summer due to bacteria) we went to the local pool. Heading the ocean was a once or twice summer time event. A weekend day trip with the entire family, usually for just special occasions or long holiday weekends.
Swimming in my childhood lake, and that local pool, hold fond memories of handstands, cannonballs, guys in speedos and hot lifeguards. I still love a day at the beach but most of swimming these days is at the local universities pool. Heading to the ocean and beach remains something rare and special. In the area where I live, there is only about two months a year when the ocean water is warm enough to swim in, so you have to take your window when you can!
When it comes to being underwater however, it's a pool all the way. Unless your snorkelling or scuba diving, being underwater at the beach doesn't hold the same appeal. I don't think there's anything more peaceful, than being submerged in a quiet pool, at the bottom of the deep end. It's almost as if your transported to another realm, even if just for those brief few moments that you can hold your breath.
Angelspins shares that so far, he's shot once with Mike, in the swimming pool, and twice with Mark, at the ocean, and in the infamous mattress room. Angel shares that although they both have their own unique style, they also compliment each other beautifully and make a great creative team.
Angels shares that working with Mike was a ton of fun and he especially loved the unique experience of being shot underwater, a first for Angel in his modeling career. It does begs the question, which body of water does Angel's body prefer....
'Pools or Ocean? I think it depends on the ocean, I prefer the more Caribbean waters than the ones in California. As for pools, as long as it’s a beautiful day I’m always ready to take a dip.'
