Cooling off

Generally I'm inclined to think the best way to fight off dehydration is to actually ingest the water... as opposed to say, pouring it down your chest ...

Plus just judging from the descending water droplets, I'd say the action of pouring said water bottle down chest actually increased the overall body heat index... as opposed to diminishing it . I highly recommend against trying this at home folks ...

Aquatic Emergence

It appears he's managed to escape from his subterranean bonds... Somebody find a net quick!... before it's too late ...

(Kidding aside though )... this is one of those rare shots that supersede the 'just a hot guy' category... not that you can really make out any defining features to begin with, but overall this is just spectacular... Had it been at a wider angle, this would definitely be one of my wallpapers .

Winter can be kinda hot

Granted you wouldn't normally associate hopping into a pool with winter, but I suppose exceptions can be made ...

Especially when Winter winds up looking this hot. Or maybe even this cool. I love being amazed by outstanding photography, and yeah, that first shot is just that... outstanding... wouldn't mind posting that one up on a wall in my room to be honest ...

Anyhow, introducing another side of winter captured by a fantastic photographer... The 28 year-old Boston beauty Ryan Winters by photographer Phil Collum.

Utterly gorgeous...

Ryan has been modeling for a couple years now, and has made the cover of quite a number of magazines including GLT, The Rage and SD Pix. He's also photographed with a couple of amazing photographers, but as you can see my favorites are easily the shoots he's done with photographers Byron Motley and Phil Collum. The effects Phil added to his shots are really a feast for the eyes.

Just Beautiful... If I knew winter could look this good, I'd wouldn't mind having it hanging around all year long ...

The Beautiful Dive Wallpaper

This is what I call the ultimate diving shot. Definitely had to have been staged cause I can't see something like this coming out of a competitive meet.

Did I mention this shot makes for a great wallpaper though?... Most of my icons tend to be on the right, so they're not blending in with the blue coloring. I'd love to see what blogmate Duba could make out of this one ...

The Blue Horizon

Had the ocean just been one shade darker I think the sky in this shot might've been indistinguishable from the water... Still a gorgeous view nonetheless ... this almost might've made it as a wallpaper. If not for the fact that it's just slightly on the bright side. Just barely missed it ...

Btw, is wearing your speedos as a necklace a new fashion statement. I must be behind on the times... But I think it's a nice look ...

The Beautiful View

Blue skies, beautiful blue ocean, a crystal clear blue pool... Could anything possibly make this view any more perfect than it already is? ...

Ah I see... gorgeous guy pool exiting the pool... (or is he entering )... Now that's perfection. I deem this The Beautiful View. Now if you'll excuse me as my smile turns into a frown upon realizing beaches and beautiful warm weather are still about 4 or 5 months away ...

Once upon a time...

Prior to all the lights and cameras, the medals and awards, late night talk shows, general praise and accolades...

And prior to the subsequent spur-of-the-moment mistake that eventually lead to an (unnecessary/unfounded) tarnishing of an image, there used to be a kid just doing what he loved most . Being that I was in the midst of a mini water theme, I figured I couldn't resist adding these superb shots of Michael Phelps in his 'dorm'. You guys were aware Michael avoided on-campus housing costs by setting his room up under the practice pool right ?

Aussie Lifeguards at work

Intense... a beautiful collision of two of my favorite loves, gorgeous guys and fantastic photography. If memory serves me right, I remember asking a while back about how and why Aussies took up this interesting tradition of (apparently) 'bikinifying' their speedos (maybe that's not the right term for it, but it sorta, kinda resembles one from certain angles )...

If I recall correctly I believe the explanation was that it's to prevent slippage while rowing... Especially so when considering the constant crashing waves drenching the seats. Something tells me this probably wouldn't fly with US lifeguards, but hey you won't hear any complaining from me ...

That being said, Just Beautiful photography with regards to these two shots. Almost gives the impression you're in the crashing waves with them.
