men i would like to photograph - luis figo

A while back I decided to start a recurring entry in my blog titled "Men I Would Like to Photograph" with the first entry being Italian soccer hunk Angelo Peruzzi, and the second Serbian strongman competitor Ervin (Erwin) Katona. Anytime I see a guy that I would like to photograph, I will post his picture here, with a request to anyone who knows him (or someone who looks like him) to pass along my open invitation to sit nude in front of my camera.

Last night, I couldn't sleep because of the legal battles with our first contractor, and so, as I often do, I turned on the Fox Soccer Channel. After midnight this cable channel runs foreign soccer and, even better, rugby and Australian football. As I've said before, I can watch these sports with the sound turned down the way straight guys watch women's volleyball with the sound turned down. I don't care whose winning, I'm watching for something else.

This time around Portuguese soccer player, Luis Figo, who plays for the Italian soccer team Inter Milano caught my attention...over and over again. Dark, hairy chested Figo has a great smile, intense eyes, strong athletic body and nice hair on his torso (of which we got sneak peaks each time he wiped the sweat from his face with his shirttail). And as you can see from the photograph at right, he's already no stranger to the camera.

So once again, I'm serious about this invitation. If you know Luis (or a close facsimile) have him contact me through my photography web site. (Caution: photography site may not be work-friendly.)
