Another funny thing happened when I was working on this much needed catalog of my work. (Because of Tom Flemmingıs support this whole thing is somehow turning into reality, and not just this very elaborate, never ending, actually never even beginning plan.)
The funny thing that happened is a great reminder of the time when I was at Popular Records, this "incredibly fabulous" record label. I was putting together this entry for Tacye "I donıt need a gun", a very handsome record, again, thank you Tom, phantastic work on the design there. And I was looking for the proper spelling of Aaron Cobbett, the photographer, who took the pictures of Tacye for the project. Not only have I found the proper spelling, but also much more than I was looking for. So he has this book out. It is called:Super Eros, and is a collection of , as one reviewer put it: "...young, handsome, masculine & muscular men ... shown in mostly outdoor shots while at work, at play and or just relaxing in very erotic bedroom poses"
Great.
My friend Christian, (who might be the most straight person around) and I were once invited to one of Aaronıs parties. It was an exhibition opening too, and the pictures he took for Tacye were quite great, so we went to see it all. A guy dressed in a cap opened the door. A very nice, soft cap. He looked quite handsome in it, yet it was the only piece of clothing he was wearing. The party was obviously a success. (Everybody else was dressed, just the opener was really funny.)
I really hope that Aaron is going to publish more books with his other work. His style is really great, *especially* the images in which the models are dressed. He often sculpts these environments in which the models match their backgrounds so perfectly.
Oh well, maybe they would not sell as well?...
People seem to like his "Super Eros". Book got 4 stars.
Amazon, the intelligent site now turned into this picture gallery of male bodies for me. How do I change that back?, will I now always be profiled as somebody fascinated by the male body?, let me not put Aaronıs book onto my wishlist...
; )
have a fabulous sunday.
