Guys, Light and Nature by Manuel Moncayo: Bruno Gmuender Portfolio, $65
The problem with photographer Manuel Moncayo's Guys, Light and Nature is too much light and nature, and not enough guys. Some of the pictures are of nature, or of urban architecture alone without the male form at all. In some of the pictures you can barely make out the male image behind bushes, brush and other plant life. Sort of like hide-and-seek.
Gay men expect the male image on every page of their physique pictorial books. Trees are nice, but secondary. If we want flora and fauna, we can subscribe to National Geographic. The best pictures feature the male form prominently, dominating nature, using the natural world as a backdrop or prop, but focused succinctly on the naked male.
I like the men. They appear to be mostly in their 30s. Not model types, sort of the handsome guy next door. Not overly muscular, no body shaving, just attractive, normal guys with body hair, hairy chests and beards.
