    This guy is UGLY! Who cares if he is masculine. And, what a dump! He couldn’t find a better backdrop for his photo?

    It puts the lotion in the basket or it gets the hose.

    Plastic covering the doors and a circa 1978 tv plugged into the ceiling?? He may claim to be masculine, powder blue speedo to the contrary, but he certainly didn’t get the gay decorating gene.

    the decor is a farce, right? I mean. That backdrop is meant to throw us off the scent. What gay man lives in a shithole like that with a set of golf clubs thrown in the corner and a tv bought at a yard sale…….

    The only thing sexy I see about that foto is the rooms potential for a design overhaul LOL aka HGTV

    @The Milkman: LOL!!!
    Funny men turn me on! 🙂

    I love these photos. The sets look like real apartments and rooms, Ive seen a hell of a lot worse. Besides, these are more art, then sexy photos.

    This guy is a very handsome guy, real and probably very down to earth. This is refreshing to see. Personally I am sick of airbrushed, fake tanned queens, or overly done and manicured men.

    @stevenelliot: Clearly it’s a set

    Looks like the first five-floor walk-up, cold-water flat I had on Greenwich Street in the Village in New York City when I was in my early twenties. LOL

    The bathtub was in the kitchen with a wooden slab over it to make it look like a kitchen counter top. LOL

    I find this photographers body of work quite interesting. The cruising set in particular while showing very little is pretty titilating.

  • HayYall

    You bitches are missing all the points.

    He has a 5″ dick and fat thighs, who cares what the decor looks like???

  • Craig Sanders

    No man with a shaved chest is at his “most masculine.”

    August 11, 2009 at 10:08pm
  • Colt

    @HayYall:
    From the look of things I think 5″ is being generous.

  • Lex

    Rawr catty queens with their claws sharp. You go girls…

    August 12, 2009 at 12:08am
  • schlukitz

    @HayYall:

    Compared to the model, the decor is at least worthy of commentary. LOL

  • photoyou

    I hate to ask, but why is there plastic on the doors? Does he shoot THAT much?

    The actual series of photos are pretty nice and their quotes about masculinity are funny, especially Luke’s; “I am masculine because I abandon women after taking their love. Because when you study Freud, you don’t let him study you. Because I study philosophy, not literature.”
    This guy is gonna make a killing selling real man t-shirt slogans.
