before i start posting my last supper i just wanted to make it clear that i am not claiming the original beefcake photos as my own in any way other than my cultural heritage. Bruce of LA, American Modeling Guide, Kris of Chicago,the list is longer than most would think. although not nessacerily a tribute to these men in particular, i would like my images to convey my sense of gratitude to all of the photographers and studios in the beginning of the 20th century who comforted, encouraged, and consolidated my ancestors; fanning the flames that would lead to were i sit today.
