the death of youth

The photographer (identified only as Giovanni) behind the lo-fidelity nudes at Death of Youth wrote in to share his site. Though this style may not be to all tastes, the work has a clearly developed aesthetic that must be acknowledged.

Patrons take note! Rik's also fund raising for a solo exhibit in the UK. Make a donation at various levels and receive postcards, digital prints and more. There's only about 2 weeks left, and he's 4/5ths of the way there, so hopefully Art Nudes can put him over the finish line.

NUDE Magazine in jeopardy

Photo by Carrie Leigh

I was saddened to hear this week that due to the closing of the Borders chain of bookstores, the good folks at Carrie Leigh's NUDE magazine have lost their major real world distribution source. Their website states that they are in the process of exploring their options.

Here's wishing this fine publication the best for their reinvention. Please support the people that support photographers like those I feature here.

Here's their blog post on the subject.
