Everytime I mention GianOrso in the news, a thousand different praise words come to mind, such as; prodigy, excellence, beauty, style, master, professional, Bear goodness (that's 2 words), artistic, incredible... the list of words I can use can go on and on. GianOrso is just one great photographer and the photos he's taken of Bears over the years is just outstanding.
I have been graced simply by knowing this man. He and I have been in communication since '01 when he informed me that he was hoping to get his North American debut... and since then he has been an inspiration to all those who've seen his Bearish photos, making fans from all over the world.
I used to have a bunch of photos he sent me on Bear-Pics, and lately I've been bringing those photos over to PlanetBears. Today I put in almost 400 pics that he has sent me over the years, some you will not see anywhere else (and I'm also hoping he'll send more in the future).
You can view those he sent me in the GianOrso Gallery which is in the PlanetBears Galleries, and make sure to visit his website as well as his Flickr page. And if you care to send him a message like 'I'm not worthy, let me lick your boots', then check out his profile.
ps - that thumbnail - those 2 pics are both GianOrso... before and after the gray hair (wink).

[Members ~ click here and here] Jacques aka PandaMontreal has been kind enough to share with a bunch of pics that were never posted here on PlanetBears. He sent in so many that I'm going to divide these updates, this being the 1st one (click here to see all of his photo sets in the PlanetBears' Galleries section - click here to see his TubeBear profile).
In this update, there's 2 sets. The 1st set Jacques calls it his 'Black & White' set; pics of him on a black chair in a white setting. At the end, I added some photos from his 'Dreamland' series; photos of him in bed surrounded by his collection of teddybears.
In the 2nd set, you get to marvel at the magical work of GianOrso (gallery - profile). the Italian GianOrso is truly a master photographer, and in my opinion he has taken some of the best photos ever of Bearish men found anywhere in this universe. Well GianOrso came to visit Canada a few years back and Jacques was fortunate enough to have a photo session with him. As a bonus, there's a bunch of 'behind the scenes' photos in which you get to see GianOrso photographing Panda.
In the next update, which will be in a couple of days, we will be posting Jacques' 'Sex-capade' set - a hot little jerk-off solo session.

We have randomly chosen a winner for our ButchBear DVD giveaway contest. The winner is JovenBear (profile): that photo was taken by GianOrso (website - profile). JovenBear has won the DVD Bounty Hunter (photo inlet #1 - inlet #2)... how did he win...? By simply joining TubeBear and creating a profile with a main photo. It was that simple. Awhile back we mentioned we were going to choose a winner, and JovenBear is our first one, and what a cute Spanish Bear is he at that.
Here at TubeBear, we are planning on giving away a ButchBear DVD 2 times a month, all you have to do is create a profile and you're eligible to win.

I've been going thru my old bear-pics folders and I keep finding so many gems... especially photos sent in by Italian photographer GianOrso (website - TubeBear profile - articles). Only a few weeks ago I posted photos he sent in from a Calendar he worked on (photos here), and this time I found some great 'toga' party photos. There's quite a few of them (88 in all), so check them out here.

Here are some excellent photos taken by GianOrso (website - TubeBear profile), the well known Italian photographer sent me during the days when I was running bear-pics (the site before PlanetBears). These photos were taken for a calendar he was working on called 'Food 4 Bears' - some of these photos made the calendar, some are outtakes.
I gotta say, going through my old bear-pics folders is kicking up some nostalgia in me. Anyhow, enough about me, click here to enjoy this very cool set. Thanks GianOrso. Make sure to check out his website. The man is a genius when it comes to photography (and I was also graced by meeting him when he came to Canada).

GianOrso has updated - visit his site
GianOrso.com and peruse his ever extending galleries of extremely good looking men he photographs. His work is so classy, he's like the Sergio Leone of Bear photographers (Spaghetti Bear Westerns). His latest photo shoot is on a lonely beach with an incredibly good looking guy by the name of Gerardo. And while you're at it, visit his Flickr page

A very happy birthday is going out to GianOrso (website - TubeBear profile), the very well known Italian photographer who has taken some of the most beautiful pics of some of the most handsome Bearish men on this planet.
Now a good friend of his, Jacques, aka PandaMontreal (website - TubeBear profile - gallery) is very 'up' on anniversaries. For Jacques, birthdays are very important, so much so that he wrote a little ode to GianOrso for his birthday. Click here to read what Jacques wrote to GianOrso while checking out some shots of this equally handsome photographer (the pics of GianOrso were taken by Lupercus). Hugz and happy bday, Gianni.

GianOrso is reloaded! Head on over to his recently updated website, and to see more of this handsome talented photographer, head on over to his TubeBear profile. From GianOrso: "Comments, point of views, suggestions, critics... any feedback is welcomed. Enjoy the view. Commenti, punti di vista, suggerimenti, critiche... Qualsiasi contributo è benvenuto". I feel so hot and sexy when I copy and paste Italian text.

May it be that SoundChaser has the oldest chubby chasing site on the net...? He's been around since 1994 and only real geeky Bears with their ultra speedy 14.4k modems were on the net back then (like me... boasting, I know) and I remember SoundChaser's site over the years and how it has changed.
Now it might not be the best looking site out there but there is a ton of pics for you to gawk over and it's all free so you gotta give kudos to SoundChaser for keeping this site running for now 13 years and being a pioneer in being one of the 1st guys around to post pics of big chubby men.
Tons of links to check out, and oh ya, the reason why he calls himself SoundChaser must have to do with the fact that he digs Chubby singers... but really... you're going to his site to see the man, and there's a small ton of links, you just have to be patient and click them all.
And lastly he has been working on a new section called 'Heroes' ~ Photographers whose work that has influenced his galleries ~ and this month his hero is GianOrso (website - SoundChaser's Hero page - TubeBear profile) who happens to be my one of my heroes as well.

A little Pic of the Day from GianOrso (website - TubeBear profile). Ok so maybe the last time I posted a 'Pic of the Day' was a very long time ago... many many days ago... ok many many weeks ago (months ago...?), but there was a time I used to actually post a new pic every day (or at least every other day). Who knows, maybe I'll start it up again, starting today.
GianOrso is my #1 Italian photographer, and he's cute too. Here's a pic of me (Forrest ~ TubeBear profile) and him when he came to Montreal.

It's nice to see GianOrso get mentioned on the net, the guy is definitely one of the best Bear photographers... in the world. That is a bold statement but after you visit his site - GianOrso.com - then you'll definitely be hard up to disagree with me. Now head on over to Fleshbot and read the short article they posted about this great Italian photographer. And while you're at it, check out all the links below the article. Looks like Fleshbot is quite Bear friendly.

In my email box, I received a little link from GianOrso (website) sending me off to here and here in YouTubeLand, and with these links, he writes "don't scream". This guy is huge in Bulgaria. His name is Azis and go here to see a ton of pictures of him. He's this Bearish guy who looks actually seriously handsome without the makeup but it looks like his thing is all about flamboyancy and he's working it to an art. His music makes me think of Spain, not Bulgaria.

One day I promise to have a 'Pic of the Day' section in which I'll update... once a day... rather than once a week. However, check out today's Pic of the Day, a photo taken by Italian photographer GianOrso. And I got word from GianOrso that he is working at adding a ton more shots of all those incredible men he photographs.

I remember many moons ago when I first got spoke to GianOrso, the handsome sweet gentle kind Italian photographer (yes, I kiss ass for a living). I also remember the first set of pics he sent me so I could post on bear-pics. I decided to dig those pics up so click here to see them. The set includes Gianorso with the bulky Panzarotto. Make sure to visit his site - GianOrso.com.
