'This year was sparsely attended, but still a lot of fun!'
If you're regular reader of FH, you've most likely seen and enjoyed the work of photographer Joe Mazza. (The Male Image) I think it was back in 2012 that I was first introduced to Joe's work. I was working on a piece on model Brody Harris for tMf Magazine and asked him about his favorite collaborations with photographers. Joe was near the top of his list, which had me searching for more of his work.
This led me to various sites, including Joe's portfolio on Model Mayhem. We quickly connected resulting my first piece spotlighting Joe's work with model Randall O'Reilly. (HERE:) I've since featured more of Joe's shoots, primarily focused on his studio work, as well as locations in the Northern California area near his home city of San Francisco.
As with Axie, (in the post above) it was on Joe's The Male Image Photo Instagram site that I recently spotted his shots from the recent WNBR in San Francisco. If you've been to San Francisco, and if you were able to focus beyond the hot naked bodies, you may have noticed the huge Cupid's arrow sculpture in the background. Cupid's Span, the 70-foot sculpture is known to many who've visited the city's Rincon Park located along the Embarcadero & Folsom Street.
This isn't Joe's first time attending the annual event, or his first time photographing it. Although always a very free spirted event, this year, the ride happened to coincide with the national walk for epilepsy. This led to a bit of a comical clash with men stripping, preparing and getting ready to ride, while children and families were walking by.
Unfortunately, there was sparce attendance, maybe in part due to the walk, and that it was also Easter weekend. Like at most WNBR's though, there was a fairly large group of spectators, many with their phones and cameras at the ready.
The Easter weekend date for the ride also meant a furry visitor. In this case, the visit was from a tattooed, and very naked Easter Bunny who also hopped on by to enjoy the ride and the fun.
