Black & White photos of Miguel Angel Cohuo

aka like mike 
Merida Yucatan 2017







This very handsome and limber young man has been promoting himself as a model for a few years now, as well he should.  I find him to be one of the most handsome men ever to appear in this virtual realm.  He has a twitter account and posts erotic pictures and portraits of himself, mostly of his own making. Some show his face and some show his phallus, but never the two together.

Hughie Lee-Smith

(20 September 1915 - 23 February 1999)





Mr Lee-Smith was a painter who taught at the Art Students League in Manhattan in the 1960s & 70s for a period of about fifteen years.  He studied at the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Cleveland Institute of Art in the 1930s.  He taught art and danced professionally as well.  Most of the paintings above were made in the 1950s and are oil on masonite. The later ones are oil on canvas.  The paintings are presented here in chronological order, the earliest from 1951 and the latest from 1987 (though he of course continued painting nearly to the very end of his days.)  They all take inspiration from the time he lived with his grandmother in Atlanta GA after his parents split up.

an Unforgettable Summer

Lucian Pintilie 
(9 November 1933 – 16 May 2018)






Just the other day I tried explaining, to a friend, just who the great Romanian stage & film director was, not knowing that the man had just died. The images come from an Unforgettable Summer (1994) with Kristin Scott Thomas: star, film & its maker, all unforgettable.
