Philip Fusco, take 2

Philip and I got started early Saturday morning for our day on Fire Island, on the southern shore of Long Island, New York. After a diner breakfast of three pancakes, three scrambled eggs and toast (for Phil), we were off for the ferry. He slept all the way to the ferry in Sayville. At the marina, I couldn't leave Phil alone for five minutes without him panicking. The guys would begin to swarm around him the moment he was alone. I had to run back to the car for a moment and before I could get back he was on his cell phone wondering when I would get back to the boat line. He looked very relieved when I came around the corner.



The day was gorgeous...sunny, a light breeze off the ocean and sugary white sand in our feet. We were there early and set up shop. As others arrived at the shore they all kept their distance from our shoot set up...it was quite humorous that no one came close with their blanket but they stood close-by enthralled that a model as hot as Phil was being shot on the beach that day. I enlisted the help of a guy near us to hold the reflector during much of the shoot. We videoed most of the shoot and if you go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD2htrjkmWE you can see some of the action.


As before, Phil clicked into model mode and cranked out one amazing photo after another. He was at ease...joking with the other beachers and oogling the girls on the beach. Phil got us invited to about six parties that night but our day was only to be there for a few hours and that quickly came to an end with the arrival of our return ferry to the mainland.

It was a wonderful day of work and laughs and certainly not our last.

I need to thank N2N, Aussiebum, 2(x)ist and CockSox for their contributions of swim suits and underwear for the shoot.
