Landscaped in Black
The recession, the medical debate and the balloon boy aside, it time to take a moment and enjoy a few images of the basics that are important in life.

Robert Vano
Some photographers seem to see things the rest of us don’t; that is until they capture them on film and then share it with the rest of us. Robert Vano is an artist of this caliber. He photographs landscapes, cityscapes, still life, portraits and does fashion shoots, but holds a special love for photographing the nude male. There must be a special place in his heart for this work, attested to by the vibrancy his camera brings to his subjects. I found it difficult to decide on which ones to post.
Born to Hungarian parents in the eastern Slovak town of Nové Zámky in 1948, Vano left his homeland before his 20th birthday, emigrating to the United States via Italy. He stayed in the States for almost three decades, starting out as a stylist for the fashion industry, then working as an assistant to big names in fashion photography before striking out on his own in the 1980s, shooting for magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and Elle.
Vano went to Prague in 1995 with the intention of staying for a year, he says, and has remained there ever since. After the hustle of working in the fast-paced, competitive fashion world of New York, Vano says he enjoyed the easier lifestyle in the Czech Republic. Even while holding jobs as creative director of the Czech version of Elle from 1996 to 2003 and then as art director at Czechoslovak Models since 2004, he has been able to slow down and find more time for his own creative work.

Mature Men
Chances are he’s mellower than a man twenty or thirty years younger. Yes, his physical beauty is still intact, not the toned Adonis he once was, but inviting in many different ways. He’s been down roads younger men still fear; you can learn from him. He’s had time to reflect, time to discover the important things in life, time to discard all the crap that doesn’t matter. He knows how short life is, therefore he knows how to live it. He feels what you will feel one day, knows what you will know: he’s been there and done that.

Wrestling
Male intimacy comes in many forms, often in sports, especially wrestling, which is even more intimate when this physical challenge is performed in the nude.
