Zink ©️ Mark I Chester @sfphotou.bsky.social 1982. We planned to do erotic photos of him on his bike but when we opened the garage there was this huge cross like setup. Our mouths fell open.

When the universe sends you a gift, how can you say no?

I love the title
Zink is not amused by Christianity

Photo of Charles on his bike in the alleyways of South of Market in the late 1970s ©️ Mark I Chester @sfphotou.bsky.social

I started photographing in my bedroom and the alleyways of South of Market. There was a lot of fantasy about leathermen but most of it was fantasy. I wanted the reality.

Thanks @bearlyhairybear.bsky.social !

Photo ©️ Mark I Chester, @sfphotou.bsky.social , late 1970s. I always thought that this image was monumental. Love the vein in the shape of a swimmer/diver. And the super sensual almost translucent foreskin. Plus, the dick came out a beautiful shade of silver.
From Between a Rock & a Hard Place, 1981

Maybe I’m feeling nostalgic for being young and sexual and believing that anything was possible.

The first show was titled ‘Feeling Good on the Edge of Madness #1’ and that was 1980, just before the AIDS epidemic emerged. The 2nd show was shortly after the devastating Folsom St Fire - July 1981.

Beautiful pix! Sounds like a great program!

Another beauty from @thiccvirtualboy.bsky.social who modeled for @gaymenssketch.bsky.social 2/24

I think it’s time to invite @thiccvirtualboy.bsky.social to do a Hot Draw! 🍆 🔥🥵

Everything about this pix is stunning- the model, the lighting, the composition, the range of tones!

Jeffrey is a great model. Handsome. Sexy. Beautifully built. Open to my madcap ideas for photos/drawing poses. A lot of fun. I’m seriously jealous of the great photographers who are working with him now.

Great pix!

Sweet!

Photo of Enzo from 12/25 ©️Mark I Chester @sfphotou.bsky.social
Another photo of the enchanting Enzo. If you follow gonaked online magazine, there is a whole gallery of images of Enzo from our session.

This is one of the photos that both Enzo and I really liked.

Art is resistance. Queer joy is resistance. Empathy is resistance. Sharing with your gay/queer brothers is resistance.

We all have to respond in our own ways. Even in the darkest days we must live our lives fully. You’ll never know who is inspired to keep resisting because of your beefy hairy men!

Love this shot of @thiccvirtualboy.bsky.social from our shoot last year! Hawt!!!!

Congratulations! Looks great! Would love to hear your talk. 🫂♥️📷

Stunning man!
Stunning photograph!
Both beautiful and inspiring.

From a recent photo shoot with @thiccvirtualboy.bsky.social. I rarely take videos in photo sessions, but I thought I couldn’t pass this one up. 😉😈😱

Plus it was a “spontaneous utterance” as they say on cop shows. ;)

From a recent photo shoot with @thiccvirtualboy.bsky.social

His first shoot in a photo studio. He did great. No longer a photoshoot virgin. 😉

The shoot resulted in a lot of good images and thicc… was a lot of fun to work with. Thicc and handsome!

Peter @classicalhunk.bsky.social by Mark I Chester @sfphotou.bsky.social ©️2025. Almost too normal of a shot. 😉 But he is so fine here. Like many gay men, Peter had to create his own identity because who he was instinctively didn’t match the community that he was born into. Classical hunk indeed!

I just completed another test book of Racial Portraits. If you would like to view an online preview of the book, text me at 415-613-0369.

There are no easy answers. It challenges each viewer. When we see a face, our first two instinctual responses are to gender and skin color.

An outtake from a 2016 shoot w/Corey and Guy for Racial Portraits by Mark I Chester @sfphotou.bsky.social ©️2016. While Diaper Don, running for prez, was ranting and raving about black people, I was in my studio photographing interracial queer men. Love is our super power. Love for our fellow man. 🫂❤️

Photos of Enzo by Mark I Chester @sfphotou.bsky.social ©️2025 for inclusion in my Racial Portraits project. I love these pix of this sweet sensual man. He was afraid that he didn’t belong. He deserves to be on the wall and in the book.

Which one do you like? They are similar but also very different.

Photo of Pablo @tiddiesdeloser.bsky.social by Mark I Chester @sfphotou.bsky.social ©️2025. From a shoot for my Racial Portraits project. A portrait before we took images for the project. Let’s just say that the chosen image probably can’t be shown on IG, but maybe on bsky.

Papi chulo mio! 🥊🩸🥊
❤️🫂❤️

Photo of @selfiegeneratorstudio /IG by Mark I Chester @sfphotou.bsky.social ©️2025 from a recent shoot. A beautiful, sensual shot of Jeffrey, capturing his hard work in developing his physique. He is really rocking it and looking great!

I’m always looking for models for sketching or photographs.

Hot pix! 🔥

From my recent shoot with @thiccvirtualboy.bsky.social. His first time in a pro photo shoot. I was surprised. TVB is handsome, truly thicc and very hot! And a great guy!

Photo of Jeffrey @selfiegeneratorstudio /IG by Mark I Chester @sfphotou.bsky.social ©️10/25

Jeffrey has grown and evolved. With a new trainer, his physique is smoking’ hot.

I’m just trying to use light to sculpt the body; to reveal and inspire. We need all the hope and beauty we can find right now

Another shot of @thiccvirtualboy.bsky.social by Mark I Chester @sfphotou.bsky.social ©️ 2015.

OMFG!!!!!!!!

Thicc indeed but his shape and proportions are fantastic.

Sadly, I was on my best behavior!!!! 😝🤣

My appeal!

He’s not nude. There is nothing sexually suggestive in the pix. Bsky is going too far with this nonsense. Your moderation rules desperately need to be updated. What truly pisses me off is the distinct lack of honesty. When you’re more conservative than IG, that’s really saying something!
