Photographer Of The Day: Michal Boothe from msbimages

Michal Boothe has a day job. Yet what consumes his day is when his day job ends and he can focus on his passion, photography. I love everything about Michal's work. It's beauty, it's simplicity, it's grounding in truth. Truth being that men are not perfect and the things some try to air brush away are front and center in Michals work. His models are beautiful not because they are models but because they stand proud yet alone in front of Michals lens.

Michal says:

'My work celebrates a minimalist aesthetic and documents fleeting ephemera: youth and innocence, beauty and strength and at the same time mourns their inevitable passing.'

This mourning is evident in the isolating feel from many of Michal's shots and longing in the eyes of many of the models.

'The models repose in quiet isolation existing in a black or white void and untainted by dress are released from a time bound world in an attempt to investigate and reveal private moments and slight gestures and to record the ever changing lines of the body and the sensuality of flesh.'

Marc Blucas in 'Animals'

Although 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer's' Riley was not the most interesting character on the show, his storyline was. Actor Marc Blucas shined as a likable guy even when his character did not. Blucas is carving out an impressive movie career. Here is Blucas from last years 'Animal'. Thanks to the original poster at Dreamcaps for the caps!

Kudos to most of Maine

Well 'most' of Maine was on board. Too bad the North West corner of the State fucked everything up. I was so hoping Maine would do the right thing. Not just because it needed to be done but because how wonderful to have Maine take stances not even California was brave enough to do. Would have been such a great move to the State on many levels.

It will come, of that I am sure. Change is slow but it is getting harder and harder to be patient. Whoever said civil rights should be voted on should be voted out. If we voted on civil rights I firmly believe many in the US would still have women and ALL minorities decades behind where they have fought to get to.

I am still giving Obama time to make needed changes. Not just with gay rights but will all of his promises. How much time is the question.
