Thigh & Mighty: Mike by RMark Photography

'Mike was the first model to pose in my new home in Ohio.'

Roger

It's been almost a year since I last featured Roger's (RMark Photography) on the site.  For Roger, it's been a year of changes, some of which I know many of us can relate to.  Due to his mother's failing health, Roger made the move from Savanah to Ohio to help with her care and transition her into a nursing home.  

Prior to the move, Roger frequently took the 14 hour drive to visit and be there for his mother.  Having gone through something similar myself, I know the toll it can take on the caregiver, both mentally and physically.  Roger also had a heath struggle of his own, but after having surgery in the spring, is now feeling better and settled into his new home in Ohio.

With all of the issues he was dealing with, photography had to take a back seat until things were settled.  It's now that time, and Roger is back shooting, and I'm enjoying seeing, as well as spotlighting some of his new work. This shoot with Mike was Roger's first shoot after his surgery, and the first model he shot in his new home studio in Ohio. 

'Mike was great to work with - friendly and pleasant and enthusiastic.  He was open to trying different poses. As is evident, he works out seriously. '

Those work outs certainly sculped a pair of incredibly hard and mighty thighs, and I love the way Roger captured Mike's magnificent body through a series of classic physique poses.  I love the lines and curves they captured and created.   As hot as Mike looks completely naked, I also like him in his cowboy hat and a little leather.  His jockstrap looks like it's hanging on for dear life wrapped around and framing his beautifully beefy behind.

I also find Mike's facial hair especially sexy, and he reminds me a bit of Norwegian actor Kristofer Hivju who played Tormund Giantsbane on Game Of Thrones.  I always though Tormund was hot and he was certainly full of lust after all that time wandering through the cold and snow. Roger shares that Mike is currently taking a bit of his break from modeling, but he is hoping to shoot Mike again if he decides a return to modeling is in order.

Current TV Crush: Ren Watabe

'We needed an actor who we really wanted to follow through the series. Someone who was believable in the Japanese world, but also could speak English for the English-speaking world as well. He really came out of nowhere.'

Casting Director, Monarch, Legacy of Monsters

Last week, I binged the first three episodes of  the new Apple TV+ series, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.  I loved every minute of it.  I love 'monster' movies, and this series makes you feel like you're watching a feature film.  Like most monster movies however, the  monster scenes are hit and miss.  There aren't really that many scenes with Godzilla or the other monsters, which is probably a good thing.  In some scenes, they're incredibly realistic, but in in others, they're incredibly fake.  I always wonder why directors and editors don't edit out those 'fake' looking moments.  

I remember the same thing happened with the dragons in Game of Thrones.  Of course, given there is no such thing as dragon, all the scenes required a suspension of belief, yet for the most part, it was easy to do as the special effects were so well done.  Then bam, there would be one or seconds where the dragons looked so obviously fake, it took you instantly out of the story.

Those few seconds however, didn't detract from my enjoyment of the show.   The characters and story instantly drew me in, and they cast a wonderful group of actors.  It was sort of crazy first seeing Wyatt Russell in the show.  I initially thought it was a younger, digital version of his father Kurt.  Then I realized it was his son, and they were playing the same character, Lt. Lee Shaw, at different times within the story.  Wyatt is a very good actor, and really engaging in the role.  Regardless of his relationship with Kurt, he quickly proves he deserved the role, beyond just the physical resemblance with the other Lt. Lee Shaw. 

One of my favorite characters in the series is Kentaro Randa played by Ren Watabe.  I am enjoying Kentaro's relationship with is new found sibling, and instantly crushed over Ren.   Born in Japan, this is the only the 24 year old's second acting credit, and first professional lead role.  Prior to getting cast as Kentaro, Ren was working as a line cook, doing a bit of modeling on the side.  

Ren was the perfect casting choice as not only is he incredibly hot, he also draws you instantly into his story, and has you wanting to follow him to see where it leads.  Despite being new to acting, he also holds his own in scenes with Kurt Russell and the rest of the cast.  Ren does not really have much of an on-line presence yet, but looking forward to watching more of him in the series and what I'm sure will be many other projects in the future.
