Bryan Ockert was on the forefront of the Internet revolution. Almost a decade ago he started an online fotojournal, long before blogs were as ubiquitous as they are today. On his site, ChaosInAustin.com, he chronicled his day-to-day life, posting pictures along with his words, giving visitors a tremendous sense of "knowing" him. With a growing fan-base, and bandwidth bills mounting Ockert looked to his hunky, friends to strip for his camera lens. And thus began ChaosMen.ChaosMen is his first compilation of 220 of his hottest and most popular models. They are captured in a mix of full color and muted duo-tone images. The hunks in this book are something special. The relationship between photographer and model is something of beauty, and this transcends to through the lens, to the viewer. This is the first of what is expected to be many books to come from the talented web guru and photographer.
