Erotically Etched
' Show me a man with a tattoo, and I'll show you a man with an interesting past.'
Jack London
So if novelist and animal activist Jack London is correct, WazGod has plenty of interesting stories to share. Check out a couple, along with some of my favorite shots of the branded beauty on the NEXT PAGE HERE:
Feel Like A Bath?
'You Might Forgive Him If He Were With Another Woman. Could You Go One Step Further? '
Many FH readers know how much I love films from the 70's, especially horror, drama and gay themed films. Even a bad film from the 1970's can be a cinematic look back on an interesting time in history. 1975's, A Saturday Night at the Baths is definitely a fascinating look back a unique window of time for the gay community.
I wasn't conceived, nor even thought of in 1974, the year A Saturday Night at the Baths was both filmed and set in, but it's a fascinating time to look back on. This was a unique period of time for those in the community, pretty much halfway between the Stonewall riots in 1969, and the onset of the AIDS crisis in the early 80's. A time for celebration for sure, yet like many LBGTQ celebrations, safety behind closed doors. Open the doors to the New York Bathhouse and see more on THE NEXT PAGE HERE:
Well Worth the Effort: Jake Isaac by RMark Photo
Every year, when featuring Roger's (RMark Photo) holiday images, there's always one image, and one model that stands out. A model that I want to devote more time to, and to spotlight his imagery separately. This year, it was model Jake Isaac. I actually preview one of Roger's shots with Jake before, a western theme image I'm including here, but also posted back in October. (HERE:)
I love how Roger captured Jake in the image, especially highlighting his incredibly beautiful back and backside. Both looked if they were sculped by an virtuoso for a statue or classic piece of art. If Jake had been around during the Renaissance period, I'm sure Michelangelo would have sought his services. Jakes muscular physique was actually sculpted by hard word, and hours in the gym. Jake was actually preparing for a body building competition at the time of this shoot.
I'd also been following Jake's modeling online for awhile, and hoping for an opportunity to feature more of his work. Jake has creatively collaborated with some of my favorite chroniclers of the male form. In addition to Roger, Isaac has stepped in front of the lens, modeling for photographers Rob Colgan and Gordon Nebeker just to name a few.
Jake and Roger connected for their artistic assignment while Jake was visiting Ohio. They ended up having quite a bit of time to discuss specific ideas, and create different looks and themes. In addition to the Christmas ball, Roger also shot a Valentines theme, and a few shots for the 4th of July, courtesy of a stars and stripe speedo that Jake had brought along. Hopefully, I'll get to share those on the site in the future. In the meaning, Jake answered a few questions about his work with Roger, his over a decade of modeling, and his best, and his worst experiences in front of the cameara..
How long have you been modeling now?
I've modeled off and on for almost 12 years now. I'd posed for art classes in college, but I didn't get in front of a camera until after I'd graduated.
Was modeling nude always part of the plan?
I started off figure modeling for art classes in college, so nudity and modeling always went hand-in-hand in my mind. I think capturing the nude form is one of the peak forms of artistic expression. Modeling seemed like the perfect way to be part of that tradition.
Do you have a best experience thus far?
That's a tough call - I've worked with many wonderful photographers over the years, many of whom I came across after they were featured on this blog. Last year I got to work with Gordon Nebeker in Florida, after admiring his work in the Lake Powell series for years. I had the pleasure of working with Rob Colgan in Detroit and explored an abandoned school, which was a truly unique experience. My most frequent collaborator, though, has been Light and Shadow Studio in Detroit - he doesn't have a huge online presence, but he knows how to make me look good on camera! "
Do you have a worst?
Two spring to mind that I consider learning experiences from early in my career. In one, I was offered the opportunity to fly out for a photoshoot with several photographers. It was sold to me as artistic photography. Only when I got there, I learned that they were starting an adult website and were looking to shoot porn. The other was a photographer who wanted to shoot around his condo. Everything seemed normal until he asked to apply oil and paid particular attention to... certain areas. I got dressed and took off in a hurry. Needless to say I became a lot more selective in who I worked with after that.
Do you have any 'dream' scenario's for shoots or themes you'd like to do?
I've always wanted to do a gym shoot. Like, a photographer following me around a closed gym as I work out nude, then hitting the the showers and the locker room afterwards. I think it would be cool getting a pump right on camera in real time, and I think the setting is a fantasy for many gay men.
How did you connect with Roger?
Roger originally reached out to me during the pandemic and said he'd like to work together. We tried to get together for a shoot for several years until we finally found the opportunity this past summer.
Tell me about the shoot, do you have any moments that stand out?
I think the highlight for me was the shots we took with Roger's big, ornate mirror. It was heavy and took some work to set up, but we got to have so much fun playing with the reflections that I think it was well worth the effort.
What was your favorite part about working with Roger?
Roger really did a good job of trying to make me feel comfortable during the shoot. I think he recognizes that every model is different, and they may require a different tact when trying to help them to relax. Roger changed things up when something wasn't working and laid out his ideas for the shoot ahead of time so we were both comfortable with what we were creating.
Stud Finder...
'There are four brothers running this construction company who do everything barefoot and shirtless. I assume it's a fantasy as I can't believe anyone would really work on a building site in just a pair of jeans...'
Last fall, I received an e-mail about the Nichol's brothers from N B Construction. The four brothers, Maverick, Gunner, Jack and baby brother Max., (I'm sure not their real names) do videos about construction work, usually wearing nothing but their jeans and tool belts. Shirts and shoes are often left to the side.
Both the reader and I both wondered if they were actually a company doing work, or just hotties doing videos contend creators. Either way, they seem to know their way around a hard job, and how to demonstrate the best way to utilize their tools. Maverick and Gunner are clearly the job foreman, although baby brother Max is also in there quite a lot. Jack seems the shy one, or maybe he's just busy with a real job, but doesn't show up quite as much as his spotlight loving siblings.
I checked out the site, but it wasn't until I was off over the holidays, that I really went down the online rabbit hole of their sites and videos. They really need to look into creating a Nicholas brother television channel. Not one on a home and garden type channel, but one of those ambient channels like the ones that play the fireplace or aquarium. I'd certainly turn it on for non-stop coverage of the shirtless hotties at work.
It appears that many of their viewers, not enjoy watching the foursome at work, they worry about their safety, especially with all that exposed skin. The comments are often about concern for their safety, and worry about them getting a nail in their foot while doing that roof job without anything on their feet.
I think the guys are perfectly safe, as I tend to believe they know exactly what they're doing. Although it isn't really peak construction season in most locations, if you're planning on a future project, or just need a hot visual distraction, be sure to check them out!
