'Another trip to Lake Powell with four new handsome models and the fine art photographs to prove it,!'
Steven
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of presenting the fine art proof from this year's Lake Powell photographic adventure. Every year, Mike Tossy, StudioMGphotography and Gordon Nebeker come back with thousands of pieces of visual evidence, some of which I'm always thrilled to present. In addition to capturing memories, images are also a visual form of confirmation that what we remember, what we experienced and what we saw, was actually real.
No matter how many on point adjectives someone might use, I'm not sure anyone could describe Lake Powell's visuals as well as an image. The color and landscapes are one thing, but the textures and incredible detail in each rock formation are virtually impossible to describe. I've always thought the area had both a timeless, and even unearthly feel.
The landscapes are reminiscent of of distant planets, and more than a few science fiction films and television shows have been filmed in and around Lake Powell. The location was used in 2013's Gravity, and both the 1968 and and 2001 versions of Planet of the Apes. The naked male bodies not only provide a sense of depth and perspective, they also provide evidence the images are current, and that what your're seeing is strikingly real.

Of course those naked male bodies do more than elevate the location, their form, their poses match the visual beauty of their surroundings providing magnificent results. Over the past several years, Gordon Nebeker has put together his visual evidence in a book featuring hundreds of images from the trip. Moments both planned, and unplanned in Muscles and Mountains: Lake Powell IV, a book sure to satisfy the male art aficionado who appreciates male nudes in the Great Southwestern landscape.
Muscles and Mountains: Lake Powell IV is available in both print form and ebook, and both would make exceptional Christmas gifts! I've already got my copy, but if your're still searching for just the right gift, check out and preview this, and past editions,on Blurb HERE:
