Last week we told you all about 

Sherwin Carlquist and recent book called UNCUT. 

 I wanted to share with you this week, more images from his  BEST OF  Collection book MEN IN NATURE.

He has specialized in studies on plant anatomy  and island biology (7 books, nearly 300 scientific papers). He had a successful career, especially in teaching and research, as a professor in  California.

In his earlier days, he also studied art–particularly composition and design–at the Pasadena Art Institute. His plant anatomy papers and books contain many photographs done with the microscope. When he wrote his book, “HAWAII A NATURAL HISTORY,” he began to realize that in photographing plants and animals, placing them in relation to their native landscapes creates compelling images.

 He developed the idea of applying this to human subjects–a man in a landscape, combining the forms of each into a unified picture. The tradition of Western Art has often been to combine the nude male (in sculpture or painting) with a landscape, emphasizing movement and emotion. This tradition has not really been represented in recent photography, which stresses the body and all too often leaves the rest of the space unused or not imaginatively used. Sherwin Carlquist has attempted to counter this lack, and to develop a genre in art photography that really has lain undeveloped. In a sense, he is photographing the human body like a natural history object, with the beauty and sensuality implied in nature photography of plants and animals focused on a human surrounded by great scenery.

Over the years he has published 7 books of male nudes – all with Uncut Men!

The photos featured here are from MEN IN NATURE. A collection of color images spanning 20 years of works.  The red-orange colors of sandstones in Utah, the shiny blackness of a Hawaiian lava flow, the sheen of sand dunes, the liveliness of a waterfall in Yosemite-these and other scenes spring to life as the backdrops for intact male bodies representing a rich diversity of types and moods.

What  would you expect to pay for this  200 page coffee-table book of beautiful male nudes? $50-$70?  At least! But this book is only  $35, postage included! 

AND check this out -  Sherwin is offering all 6 of his other books for just  $25  EACH!  You can own THE ENTIRE COLLECION for less than  $200!

These books are a must have for the collector of male nudes in art and the lover of natural uncut men!

OK – I know you are probably sick of these interuptions -

but  bare with me….HOMOPHOBIA CAN NOT be tolerated.

The Government in Uganda want to start jailing and executing homosexuals!

Today, PEPSICO dropped all involvement with the homophobic singer Beenie Man, after he sang about slitting the throats of gay people last weekend in Uganda!

This is crazy! This is scarey stuff!  This madness must be stopped.  And I would be remiss in my role as a publisher, who  have access to thousands of voices each month, to not try to help.

Change.org has  started a petition against BUJU and his Grammy Nomination. 

In October 2009 Banton was quoted in news reports as saying “This is a fight, and as I said in one of my songs ‘there is no end to the war between me and f—-t’ and it’s clear.”

By nominating Banton for a prestigious Grammy Award the Recording Academy is turning a blind eye to Banton’s support of deadly violence against gay people.

Signing this letter tells the Recording Academy that honoring Banton with this nomination is not OK.

PLEASE – I urge you to take 2 minutes and sign this.

Thank you -

Help to end forced genital cutting on male infants, a.k.a.

routine infant circumcision, in the USA!

Watch the video here: (warning: graphic and disturbing!)

(If more parents watched this,

 they WOULD NOT slice  their boys!)

SIGN  PETITION!

Representatives from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are setting off a micro-burst of hysteria at the National HIV Prevention Conference in Atlanta this week as they mull a recommendation that boys’ foreskins should be cut off to help stem the spread of HIV infection.

Right-wing pundit Rush Limbaugh claimed on his radio show that President Obama wants to mandate circumcision. Various anti-circumcision groups, which refer to themselves without evident irony as “intact-ivists,” have made strong statements advocating no changes in U.S. medical policy.

News reports cite scientific studies that show that foreskin cells are particularly susceptible to HIV, and that the foreskin can tear during intercourse, providing an entry point for infection. Opponents are adamant that the numbers don’t add up.

Intactivists stigmatize circumcision as genital mutilation without consent, akin to female genital mutilation. Current U.S. medical policy is strictly neutral on the issue, deferring to the wishes of the infant’s parents.

The CDC is clear on one thing — its Web site states, “Whatever the content may include, CDC’s final circumcision recommendations will be completely voluntary.”

LAST WEEK,  UNCUT  NEWS   resported that 12 years ago, the US passed a law banning female genital mutilation, also known as female circumcision. To mark the anniversary, protesters marched in Washington DC  last week, to protest that male circumcision is still legal.

These activists call themselves “intactivists”, and are pushing for an end to public funding for circumcision. So far, 16 states, including Washington State, have banned Medicaid funding for the purposes of circumcision. According to the International Coalition for Genital Integrity, state governments can save $1 million a year by cutting public funding for circumcision.

In other  news….

The American Academy of Pediatrics is said to be revisiting their policy on infant circumcision. The 1999 policy puts it that there are some possible medical plusses to circumcising, but that they don’t outweigh the known risks and drawbacks, or warrant routine circumcision. Nonetheless, they sum up that parents should weigh cultural factors when deciding about circumcising their sons. This part blows my mind since it’s not even a medical opinion.

Their policy is followed by other agencies like the American Medical Association, and it has a big impact on whether insurers can get away with not covering the infant procedure.

I’d like you to write to the AAP policy task force and remind them that their new policy needs to reflect human rights, the immense value of intact genitals, and the fact that babies aren’t at risk for STDs.
