In my extensive travels online, I have come across an amazing amount of excellent photography and useful resources. There are certainly many more than I have listed here, and I've tried to avoid sites you'd probably find on your own like demarchelier.net and adorama If you come across something you think I should see, or one of the following Links has expired, please feel free to let me know. Enjoy!
Disclaimer - some of these sites contain images of nude humans (as does mine!) so if the sight of nude humans other than your own freshly showered self doth offend, please proceed with caution!
