Let us embark into the wonderful world of Eric Nielson's photography. Please seat yourself very comfortably, take in a long and meaningful deep breath... hold it for a second, and then release... repeat... breathe in... breathe out...

Ok, first let's head on over to Eric's official website. Here you will find some of his finest photos he's taken (all conveniently shown thru a slideshow), his contact info (he's in sunny San Francisco), and you'll also find a link to his blog Observd with the byline 'Life in the Castro thru the Lens of TroublePup' (that being his nickname). And finally you'll see a link entitled Bearracuda. Now Bearracuda is a party that takes place in San Francisco the 1st and 3rd Saturday every month at Deco, and Eric is their designated photographer (Bearracuda's website - articles - profile).

Eric is creative with his camera, he's innovating, and his photos are filled with life proving that you can have a blast with photography. Not only that, a lot of the guys he photographs are these incredibly handsome Bearish men smiling genuine smiles. His stuff is erotic, sexy and fun, all at the same time.

Ok... ok... some more of Eric's fine work. Head on over to his Flickr page and you'll discover even more of his excellent shtuff... he truly knows how to frame a guy. So I will leave you with that, and a few words that Eric wrote of himself from his profile on Flickr. He states that he's "just your average pagan, liberal, socialist, queer photographer living in San Francisco documenting everything that the Republicans are scared to death about".

... Wh...what...? You need even more of Eric Nielson's sthuff...? Fine. Check out this link to his page on SmugMug. Now some of the galleries are password protected so that might mean you'll have to email Eric and say something really nice for you to see his naughtier side.

The fall issue of BearParty Mag (website - articles - profile) by the makers of CyberBears is now available and should be hitting your local Bear Bar. There are 25,000 copies printed so surely you can find a copy of one somewhere (cover).

From BearParty: "With the strange weather we've been having lately, there's no way to know what kind of fall we should expect. 2008 has been one of those years full of wild contrasts, from celebrations of gay marriage in California to financial and political turmoil all around the globe. Global warming is changing the face of our planet, and divided economic, political, and religious interests are battling. Somehow, as resources get tighter, the interests of disenfranchised gay people always seem to end up out in the cold. But as we struggle to see light at the end of the tunnel, let's focus on the things we can all be grateful for, such as this community of Bears and Bear-lovers we're all a part of, wherever we may be.

Whether you're on your own right now, or sharing the company of friends and lovers, our convenient Bear community event guide has listings for places to gather and beat the cold all around the world. And if you can't get away, we've also put together a warm and sunny gallery featuring a hot, furry daddy Bear named Dave. Just the sort of guy you would want to curl up with on a cold night, and maybe share a Black Russian, like the one we have featured in our Open Bar section. Then you could pop in that Elijah Black CD, kick back, and maybe check out the hot artwork by Bear artist Danyol on the wall. And hey, if the evening goes well, you might want to get some inspiration from a video or two directed by our featured backroom interviewee, Chris Roma from HotOlderMale ".

It's time to make plans for a very exciting cruise which is being hosted by the Bearcelona Bears of Spain. It's aptly called Bearcelona Cruise ~ this will all be taking place from July 5th thru the 13th.

The following is from their site: "Bearcelona Cruise was born when we saw that largest 'all gay' cruise in Europe was going to leave from our city, and we wanted to offer our collaboration. We would like to involve as many guys from Bear community as possible. 3200 guest, 9 days, 8 nights, 7 cities.

From Barcelona to Rome combining relax, sun and beach, culture, tourism and party. On board you can enjoy 2 swimming pools, gym, spa, Jacuzzi, sauna, ice skating rink, mini-golf, rock-climbing wall, full court basketball and volleyball track, a huge theater, casino, cabaret show, restaurants, etc. At noon, outdoor t-dances in the middle of the Mediterranean and by night the best theme parties.

Can you imagine a Bearcelona-On-Tour party, on an American cruise, without leaving Europe and paying in dollars? Who has never dreamed of a ship full of Bears and friends?".
