'Benjamin had no qualms about the chicks on his butt and enjoyed the experience working with them. He didn't say how it felt to have them on his butt, but it took a lot of tries to get the chicks to stay in place.'
Some of you may remember my 2019 Easter themed post featuring photographer Tom Nakielski, (Lights On Studio) and his work with the sizzling hot Benjamin. (Chick Magnet) Tom began the post with Benjamin wearing his Easter Sunday best, then proceeded to have Michigan based model slip out of his Easter suit and into his birthday suit.
Benjamin's beautiful body proved a chick magnet, with the baby chicks Tom had borrowed for the shoot spending their day atop Benjamin and his beguilingly bountiful backside. Given his history of shooting for family holidays, Tom was accustomed to working and shooting with cute little critters. Over the years, Tom has rented, and borrowed both baby chicks and bunnies for his Easter themed shoots.
Those adorable baby chicks are now five years old, and still laying plenty of eggs to assist Benjamin in getting his daily allotment of vitamins and protein. Taking care of those chickens, takes a fair amount of work, which means Benjamin spends a lot of time out in the barn caring and comforting his chickens. It's the barn, that Tom thought would make a perfect location for a follow-up shoot with Benjamin.
I only have one short, personal story about baby chicks. When I was about 10 or 11, my dad brought us home 6 baby chicks for Easter. Someone at his work had brought them in, and my dad thought it would be a good surprise to bring them home for us. My mother however, didn't agree. After myself and my sibling fell in love with the tiny little fluff balls, my mother made it quite clear we were NOT going to keep them.
Shortly after we got them, she demanded that my father take them out back to the shed. He tried his best to change her mind, pushing how much money we'd save on eggs, but she wasn't having it. I spent almost the next 24 hours in the shed playing with my sadly just temporary pets. I made them a little bed, with a card board box home, fed them seeds and blueberries. I left a nice bowl of water and remained in the shed until my mother screamed for me to come in for bed.
Knowing nothing about chickens, I wasn't aware of everything they needed. This was also the late 80's, and we didn't have a computer or the Internet for me to get on-line and research. Living on the East coast, Easter's were often chilly, and this one was no exception. When I got up the next morning, I ran out to check on my chicks to fin them all freezing, pecking on their water bowl, which was now frozen solid. There were thankfully all ok, and I brought them into the house where my mother let them stay, until my dad returned them to their owner the following day.
Thankfully Benjamin and Tom knew a little more about caring for baby chicks and had proper food and a warm place for them to live with a heat lamp. The chicks are living their best life, and love when Ben opens the barn door each morning to say hello, and gather the gifts they lovingly laid for him. They also love when Tom comes to visit, not only does he bring treats, they seem to know that means daddy Ben is going to get naked, and they love jumping on Ben's butt for little peck and peep.
Given Ben was dressed to the nines in white Easter suit for their first shoot together, Tom decided that this time, he should be more casually dressed. I loved Ben in white, but I think he looks exceptionally hot in his red flannel shirt and, black tank top and jeans. Of course it wasn't long before Tom asked for the flannel to be flung to the floor. Check out the rest of Ben's Barn shoot on the NEXT PAGE HERE:
'Benjamin wasn't shy about being nude, even with chicks running over his body.. In fact, most models will put their pants back on while I am fussing with lights and props. When I needed help with setting some things up he didn't bother to get dressed to do it. He got up on a ladder to adjust a light I had in the ceiling without a thought about being nude. It made for a very comfortable session.'
