I'm proud to say I was interviewed for the new issue of Physique Pictorial (#46), and that my photographic work is included in the esteemed publication.

There are only 1,000 numbered copies off each edition, so get yours ASAP.

Saturday night, the mag held a launch party at NYC's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Center on W. 13th, a place I hadn't been to in probably 20 years. I can't remember the last time, but its semi-recent overhaul has left it a beautiful, clean, modern space.

The party was fun! I chatted with photographers and photography buffs, including sexy brand ambassador Ross Collab.

I was also able to talk to the mag's new intern, who is a full-on queer archivist; another sign this new incarnation is taking Bob Mizer's legacy — and the legacy of beefcake culture — seriously.

Pics to follow ...

Finally, here's a snap similar to some from my spread in the magazine, clearly inspired by the Mizer aesthetic:
