Viv Thomas
A rare picture of the man himself - he's bound to be thirsty after all those nude women.
You know how I've kept going on in the last week or so about how it's been, as far as I'm concerned, a very good and interesting start to the year in terms of the quality of sites? Well, I'm going to start sounding like a stuck record!
Viv Thomas is the latest site this year that has turned my head and impressed me enormously. It's bizarre that as soon as the year ticked over that we suddenly started getting this influx of interesting sites.
Let's just be thankful though, should we? Quite often the official sites of photographers can be massively disappointing. It's like some of them think, "Well, my name's attached to it - I'll just stick some of my stuff on it and that should make me a mint."
This is certainly not one of those sites, thanfully. It's completely marvellous from start to finish. Obviously, it has a wonderful list of stars and performers that he's filmed down the years and so and so forth.
But for me the most interesting aspect of it was the fact that he's taken a stance against the BBFC. One day I'll tell you why I hate that particular bunch of people so much, but in the meantime I applaud him.
One day, the internet will become so large that such regulatory bodies will have absolutely no power to censor harmless pornographic images. And that will be a day on which I will celebrate, just you watch.
