I’m planning to do a blog post about the Male Nude in photography. Many of the male nude photos (applies to many female nudes as well) I see are unimaginative, lack drama or artistry, have no sense of humor, and/or are simply smutty or pornographic.

If you have some male nude photos you’ve taken that you think rise above these common pitfalls, I’d like to see them! You may submit up to 3 images. I will feature the ones I like in my upcoming blog post with appropriate photo credit and link to your website.

Please size the images you submit within a 640 pixel high and 760 pixel wide rectangle; the closer they are to 760 pixels wide and/or 640 pixels tall, the better. Please make sure your attached image/s is/are less than 1mb in file size.

Depending on how long it takes to receive enough images I like, I expect to put the blog post up by October 1st, 2015.

Thanks!

It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve finally put up a new home page for michaelgracemartin.com!

New MichaelGraceMartin.com Home Page

New MichaelGraceMartin.com Home Page

The idea was to put a more portfolio-oriented front end on my website to showcase (and possibly sell) my photographic work in a way that makes it easier to share with galleries, publishers, collectors, and others in a manner they’re used to and expect.

The photos I selected were the result of an initial pass through my recent work. These will be changing, evolving and growing over the next few weeks and months.

So take a look and come back every so often to see what I’ve been up to! I’ll be sure to mention major updates here on my blog…:-).

Buying Toilet Paper (funding this website)

I enjoy running this website (yes, the one you’re at right now!). Others seem to enjoy what I’m doing as well, based on the kind and fabulous feedback you’ve given me over the years…:).

The only problem is it costs money for me to travel places to take photos and to hire models and rent locations for photo shoots, especially art nude shoots. And then there are the opportunity costs of working on this website when I should be mowing the lawn, paying bills, selling real estate, etc etc.

But how can this website generate any income in the age of an overwhelming supply of free Internet content??

I’ve tried selling prints, ebooks, cards and so on. I’ve had a little success, but nowhere near enough to rationalize the time I spend on this website.

People don’t need art prints, art books, or art cards in hard economic times.

Toilet paper. People need toilet paper (aka “bath tissue”) in both good and bad economic times.

So, here’s the proposition:

If you go to this link, you can buy toilet paper (which you were going to buy anyway, right?) while simultaneously helping to support this site!

You can also buy other household supplies if you’d like.

You’d be buying from my Amazon Associates’ store where they’ve got some of the best prices around regardless. A portion of your purchase goes to support this website.

It’s a win-win: you get that toilet paper you need anyway, while helping me bring you new and entertaining content each week!

It’s a much better deal than paying for a subscription to those old dusty Reader’s Digests stacked on the back of the toilet, don’t you think?…;)

Maybe putting it this way can get through to maga: "Donald Trump is Full of Shit and you know it."

Is social media just a poor substitute for being active and actually doing things?
