As you surf the web & find numerous sites filled with fantastic images of nude males you might pause to remember each of these was created by a photographer/studio. They had to find, pay (these days in hundreds not the $25 per session Champion & others paid in the 60s) & deal with the oddies (numerous) of each model (Dennis Phong (Derek Powers) paid with his life for befriending two models. These two also planned to murder Brad Posey for his car, luckily he wasn't home.) They shell out a mint for film & developing. They have lawyers to assess changing laws & deal with entrapment and harassment. They deal with magazine publishers who treat them like shit (despite the fact that without pix their mags wouldn't exist.) Then some smart ass opens a web site, scans pictures & offers them to the public free. Another scans the pix & hands them out in newsgroups. Egroups & blood suckers like them have turned thievery of images into a pot of gold for themselves The best are the ones who actually put their moniker on the image & pretend that this is their creation. It's all just fun, fun, fun. Images are like trading cards without the bubble gum. None of these charmers ever supports the photographers. None of these charmers has permission to publish. None has a copy of the model release or proof of age. None has a leg to stand on if law enforcements challenges the image(s) & contends that the model or models are underage. None has a leg to stand on if the model sues (& they ALL want BIG bucks.) The Supreme Court ruled that unless a model signs a release he or she owns the picture(s). When one of these things occur it's the photographer who has fun, fun, fun! And of course they all claimed copyright is only alleged, a figment of photographer's imagination

At the very least, if you want to put an image on your site be sure to include this ( © copyright symbol - hold down the alt key & hit 069 on the number pad) and the studio or photographer's name. You'll feel better 'cause your kneecaps won't get broken

The ARCHIVE below provides the sites & e-mail addresses of photographers & studios. Some sell beautiful prints and others offer videos. You'll recognize the creators of all those .gif & .jpg files you have tons & tons of. If you've gotten pleasure from those images why not support the people who created them! Spend some bucks & help these people to continue to create the images of beautiful men the enrich our lives. They put their heads on the block to create their art & some pay the ultimate price. It just isn't a game to photograph nude models & the fun that existed in the 60s & 70s is gone. It's high stakes now. You might also take a minute to e-mail them and let them know how much you love their work.
