Boys of Summer 09 #1: Refreshing Dip

Now that it's officially summer, I thought I'd have a little fun and post regular "Boys of Summer" photos that catch my eye. I simply want to celebrate the natural beauty of the male form. Too often in our culture, men's bodies are considered offensive or ugly. Makes sense in a patriarchal society, I suppose. How dreary...

So here's the first, a nice black-and-white of two enjoying a summer swim in the lake.

And it seems those computer glitches have been resolved!

Artist Nils Udo Rediscovers Nature

These are simply stunning photographs. German artist Nils Udo takes only what he finds in nature--water, flowers, berries, branches--and creates surprising images. Meditating on these photographs brings a smile to my face and a sense of wonder to my heart. It's amazing when people can take everyday things that the rest of us take for granted and actually get us to take a second look.

Images in order: "Mirror," "untitled" and "Nest."

Found him at Greenmuseum.org. See more images at ArtNet.
