'Summer will end soon enough, and childhood as well.'
George R.R. Martin
Summer is officially over. Whether you follow the meteorological or astronomical dates for summer, it's officially Autumn. Today on the East coast though, summer was holding on tight. Although not especially sunny, it was as hot and humid as it gets. I stupidly wore a light jacket to the garden center and was sweating ss I dragged bags of soil out of the store to my car,
Summer's end for most of us, also means the end of sightings of summer skin. Guys walking down the street shirtless, guys in bathing suits at the beach or sunbathing in the park. Although many wear their shorts through to December, the days of driving down the street seeing shirtless guys is officially over until next year.
It's been awhile since I've posted a Sunday's With Hans, but today seemed a perfect time to feature this series of shots from photographer Hans Fahrmeyer . Although I love Han's nude work, I equally love his images of models in underwear and swimsuits. Han's work is always eye catching and visually dynamic especially given the vibrant colors he incorporates within his imagery.
Due to his work with several underwear makers, Hans has a acquired a vast collection of underwear and swimwear over the years. His collection includes almost every style, and every color imaginable. Hans also seems to know exactly what piece will perfectly hug and highlight the assists of each model that he shoots.
I love the purple on Phil Fusco and the purple clinging tightly to model Nick Ayler. The red wrapped around model Santiago Peralta looks like it could burst at any moment. The yellow perfectly frames Marcel's man meat and the white beautifully contrasts with Phat Daddy's pubic hair peaking out above.
When I was putting together this piece, I shot Hans a few questions to help me focus the text. Hans' answers didn't just come with words, but visual to accompany his answers. Check out my mini-interview with Hans Fahrmeyer, (and the images he sent along) on the NEXT PAGE HERE:
