I shoot photographs of artists, actors, musicians, models, dancers, random strangers, and other cool people. I am always looking for photo subjects or inspiration. Please contact me if you are interested in collaborating on any projects.
My work (and my play) is based upon exploration of reason, experimentation of method, and expansion of mind. If you have questions about me, I’m an open book.
Side note: When I took the preceding photo of myself, I wasn’t wearing any pants.
Besides shooting photos, I like coffeehouses, music, art, stars, clouds, cookies, white socks and hairy legs, books, booze, blowjobs, design, tattoos, hipsters, nerds, midnight, flesh, Americana, adventure, microcosms, identity, reality TV, performance, guilty pleasures, alternate identities, science, and SPECTACLE.
If you haven’t figured this out yet, you should also know that I don’t take myself too seriously, and that you shouldn’t take everything you read here seriously, either.
I am gay, and have been partnered for 11 years. But I like men — which might explain why there is a concentration on guys in my photography. Cowboys, athletes, military, firemen, cops, DILFs, men in Italian cut business suits, jeans & t-shirts guys, and rough trade all intrigue me. I know that sounds like a line up for the new Village People, but that’s my taste.
I hope you enjoy my blog.

Enjoy your comments and easy to see the guy through his words and work…not hidden agenda, crystal clear, and passionate of his work and his art-craft.

With every photo I see, it’s another piece of art. I hope that I get my muze again. Either drawing/ writing and get back to my norm as it should be.
Looking forward to keep in seeing more and more of your work. Your such a blessing, thank you. Good wishes and hopes/dreams for the both of us. Thank you for listening.
Sincerly,
Robb Caldarera

You may or may not remember me but the other day I came across this blog after a link from a link and *pow* there you were! I’m the English guy you and Jay used to chat to in the first days of my internet access years and years ago. Hope you’re both doing well and congrats on such a fine blog! I’ll give you the link to mine but it’s a bit seedier than this one so get in touch if you fancy a peek! Very best wishes, A x
