Digital Passion.US & Foto by Michio's photostream  

HELLO GUYS. FIRST OF ALL, I AM WAY OVER 18 YEARS OLD OF AGE!!!!

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU ASK ME TO ADD YOU AS FRIEND OR FAMILY.

I WILL NOT ADD YOU AS FRIEND OR FAMLILY IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING OF YOUR OWN FACE PHOTOS TO SHOW OR PROVE YOUR ADULT AGE IN YOUR PROFILE AND YOUR PHOTOSTREAM, OR NOTHING BUT POSTING ONLY PHOTOS WHICH YOU STOLE AND POSTED FROM INTERNET ON YOUR PHOTO STREAM.

SO PLEASE DON'T ASK ME TO ADD YOU.

RECENTLEY I CHANGED SOME OF MY ACCOUNT SETTING FOR PRIVATE VIEW ONLY SELF - PHOTOS FROM FRIEND & FAMILY VIEW TO FAMILY VIEW ONLY. SO IF YOU WANT TO VIEW MY PRIVATE PHOTOS, PLEASE ASK ME TO ADD YOU AS MY FAMILY TO VIEW THEM BUT I DON'T WANT TO SCARE YOU AWAY! LOL!!!!!
MY FRIEND STILL CAN VIEW MY AMATEUR BEAR & CUB MODELS PHOTOS.
ALL THE PHOTOS HERE ARE MY ORIGINAL EXCEPT FEW WHICH I RETOUCHED FOR MY FRIEND'S WORKS. I DIDN'T STEAL ANY PHOTOS FROM THE NET.****

I am not good at writing about myself. I am gay Japanese, originally from Tokyo Japan. I've been living here since 1975 and I am an American citizen now.
My very good friend and great photographer, Gian Orso suggested me to post some of my photographs on here. But I was really hesitant about it since I checked out all the great photographer's work including Gian on here.
I didn't go to art school or anything to learn about photography. My father taught me little bit of photography when I was small kid. He worked with famous Japanese photographer when he was in younger days. I really didn't even take it serious about it then.
But I really love photography, specially in color but not so much with Black and White. I am into photographing with nature, flower, bridge, skyline, old style building/architecture, almost any kind of subject. I also love to photograph guy next door chubby, husky, bearish type guy in outdoor setting. I am not so much into huge muscle/bodybuilder type of guy. Taking picture of hot bears & cubs are more like my hobby. Grin !!!! So most of my photos are pretty much straight forward and not much artistic Black and White photos.

I AM NOT PROFESSIONAL COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHER. THIS IS NOT PORNOGRAPHY SITE EVEN I POSTED MANY PHOTOS OF NAKED BEARISH MEN !!!! AGAIN, PLEASE GO ELSE WHERE IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY IT.

I love editing with Photoshop and manipulate my original photo in layer of programs. If you like to check out my own website, please go to digitalpassion.us with regular photos and fotobymichio.com with HOT fully naked Bear photos. Please feel free to send me any kind of comment or feed back about it. I can always use any kind of critic.
Some of my models were published in different Bear magazine like, American Bear, American Grizzly, Big Men's Quartery, 100% Beef and 2009 XXL Men calendar for Village Lighthouse publishing. It was not my choice but my models' choice. I have no intention of selling them to magazine or posting them on internet except promotional publicity purpose of my photography website only.
Please also visit all my buddy's photography site in my contact list on here. There are some great photographs in there.
As I mentioned, all photos on here are my original work except few of them. My site is nothing but photography site.

PLEASE DON'T ASK ANY INFORMATION ABOUT MY MODELS. I WON'T BE ABLE TO GIVE IT OUT TO YOU BECAUSE OF SIGN OF MODOEL RELEASE CONTRACT.

PLEASE DO NOT COPY OR POST ANY OF MY PHOTOS FOR YOURS OR OTHER SITE.

Thanks!!!

Michio
