I was rewatching some of Eike's vides again the other day and became tranfixed all over again!



Ever since I first saw German gymnast Eike von Stuckenbrok I have been transfixed. I hope he does the same thing to you. Be sure to watch the bathtub video below, it is truly beautiful!

Canadian Back Bacon: Shawn Roberts

I have profiled so many great Canadian talent on FH including this post from June 2008 on actor Shawn Roberts.



Canadian actor Shawn Roberts should be in the dictionary next to the word hunk. Shawn actor has done the rounds of Canadian television on shows such as Degrassi, Goosebumps, Wild Card and Falcon Beach . Shawn has also had some smaller roles in movies such as X-Men, Get Over It, Skinwalkers and Jumper. Shawn got a lot of attention for his scene naked and tied to a bed in National Lampoon's Going the Distance. Certainly a hot scene, and a great actor worth looking out for.

A Look Back: Photographer of the Day: Michael Angelo

A Look Back:
From January 2010


I cannot tell you much about NY based photographer Michael Angelo (mr angelo) as he is hard to research. I can tell you that like another Michael Angelo, one without the a, this one is a true artist.

The first shot of Michael's that I saw was the one below. I was instantly drawn to the bananas. Not for the reasons you might think, or maybe exactly for the reason you might think. The vibrant yellow really is the center of the shot with the model almost serving as background. I knew I wanted to find out more about the photographer.



I was pleased to see this splash of color, often a piece of fruit, was a theme in much of Michael’s work. The detail in Michael's work is truly extraordinary and I was amazed at the level of excellence with composition, lighting and staging in shot after shot that I had the privilege to see and enjoy.

Michael's has a wonderful online portfolio I encourage you check out at his site HERE: Be sure to check out his series “Portrait of Cambodia,” which documents the country’s cultural and political landscape. It debuted in New York in 2007.



"Winter 2009, Michael will present “The Lipstick Portraits”. Subjects include actress Susan Sarandon, supermodel Veronica Verakova, tastemaker Simon Doonan, philanthropist Abigail Disney, and burlesque queen Dita von Teese."










Below: My favorite series of shots by Michael.


This series of shots touched a series of conflicting emotions in me. Sexy of course, but also a loneliness. It is also reminded me of the many science fiction movies where one man wakes up alone on the earth and how small we really are in the scheme of things.
