Roy Blakey And His Naked Men

I don't know whether this a bit of a new phenomenon, but I've been seeing a lot more attention being paid to classic artists and photographers of the 70's and 80's recently, and plenty of sites talking about the bygone age of male eroticism.

I guess a lot of you guys know about the Tom of Finland stamps going on sale and the ruckus it seemed to have caused with the right wing there. Funny though, the site has been crashing routinely as people try to get theirs! Yes, I am one of those people trying to get theirs lol

I found some shots by the very talented Roy Blakey today, and I wanted to share some of them with you guys for a nude post. I don't think you'll mind this at all, even though these can't really be called homoerotic in the same sense as other more explicit work from previous decades.

While we have a few photography idols today doing similar work, I do sometimes wonder why we don't have photographers out there being appreciated today in the same way they were back then. I guess the support isn't needed so much these days, or is it just that we're more interested in hardcore than truly beautiful images like these where sex isn't all it's about?
