ALL WIRED 61

BY THOMAS BARKER

NEW YEAR, NEW HOPES For most people, including myself, as we approach the end of the year, we reflect on the things we loved, things we regret, and things we hope will eventually change. Last year, was an incredible year for us at Wire Magazine 8F MBVODIFE a number of amazing editorial features and brought in some incredible writers, including local psychologist Dr. Gregg Pizzi; arts and culture writer, James Cubby; and internationally known cosmetic dentest, Dr. Hamid Nassery.

8F BMTP MBVODIFE B NBKPS JOJUJBUJWF UP QSPWJEF PVS readers with exclusive events at some of the most opulent venues in South Florida. From Wire Magazine’s Traveling Brunch to the various events we have hosted at variety of stores, hotels, restaurants, bars, and clubs, we have worked really hard to provide you with an opportunity to get up close and personal with us, our advertisers, and your fellow readers! To be honest, I can’t tell you how amazed I have been at the support and dedication of our readers. As I reflect upon the many events that took place last year, I can’t help but smile and feel a strong sense of admiration for our supporters.

8IFO * DBNF PO CPBSE BT QVCMJTIFS PG 8JSF .BHB[JOF JO +BOVBSZ PG MJUUMF EJE * LOPX IPX NVDI 8JSF Magazine would evolve, and I am very proud to have been a part of it all.

And now that we are on our third year of publishing South Florida’s only gay lifestyle publication, I IBWF TP NBOZ NPSF IPQFT BOE BTQJSBUJPOT GPS 8JSF Magazine, the community, and our many readers. First and foremost, I, along with my fellow publisher and staff, are truly dedicated to maintaining and strengthening our relationship with our readers.

No other gay publication in South Florida will ever be able to make that claim.

My hope is that with the fear of a potential property tax increase, these residents will learn their lesson: if they want to keep their property taxes low, they need to support the local bars, clubs, restaurants, and hotels.

As for our community, I am very concerned about the many businesses in Miami Beach that are regularly affected by the over regulation and bureaucracy of Miami Beach City government. The City of Miami Beach Commission continue to pass legislation that creates so many road blocks; many businesses close XJUIJO KVTU B GFX NPOUIT PG CFJOH PQFO o JG UIFZ FWFO HFU the chance to do that.

The sad part is that the Miami Beach Commission and city officials are not completely to blame for this. The

In 2011, my hope is that these residents will work with local businesses to find compromises on issues affecting them, as opposed to trying to pass loose legislation that results in the closing of businesses and, of course, the loss of millions of dollars in tax revenue for the City of Miami Beach.

I also hope that City of Miami Beach Commissioners will finally smell the roses and do a complete overhaul of the permitting process, code enforcement, and staffing for the City. If not, I hope that this will be the year that all of the businesses in Miami Beach will stand together and fight back!

Stay tuned, as we will continue to cover these issues, along with our usual coverage of the arts, culture, entertainment, celebrities, and the various personalities that make South Florida so great!

Happy New Year!

1045 MODERN THE CRYSTAL BALL LOOKS BACK AT ME, AND VOMITS Maybe it's a sign of the times that this year you seem to see more early January columns with New Year's resolutions than you see of prognosticators taking a look ahead. It's easier to make commitments to change, knowing they are doomed to failure, than it is to face the potential epic fail of a fresh new year.

But reading the tea leaves is particularly easy this year because the events that will shape 2011 have all been set in motion already, and it frankly would take a visually DIBMMFOHFE QFSTPO PS B MJUUMF XBUDIFE DBCMF news shrill not to be able to see what the near future has in store for us.

COVER STORY +03(& '3&*3& 4$6-1503 0' '*-.

BY THOMAS BARKER It’s amazing how one image can evoke so many emotions, tell an untold story, or perfectly capture a moment in time. For millions of years, thousands of artists and photographers have been able to show the world a MJUUMF QJFDF PG IJTUPSZ UISPVHI UIFJS XPSL 8IFUIFS JU T B beautiful painting by Leonardo De Vinci or an outlandish photograph by David La Chappelle, there is a great thing to be said about the art of creating the perfect image.

A couple of months ago, a friend of mine stumbled across the Facebook profile of local photographer, Jorge Freire, and immediately called us. Turns out that, while he was cruising Facebook, he clicked on a picture of a beautiful guy with no more than a small piece of red fabric between him and the camera lens. After looking through the photos on the profile, he was in love! And after reviewing the photos for myself, I could see why.

Jorge has photographed some of the hottest men in the industry, capturing some of the sexiest studs in some of the most provocative situations. Needless to say, I was so impressed; I immediately reached out to Jorge to get to know him and learn more about his photography. Since then, we have worked with Jorge on a number of issues, and every single time, Jorge has delivered some of the most stunning photographs I have ever seen.

For our first issue of the year, we thought it would be great to share some of those images with you in our quarterly calendar issue. As you will see in the next few pages, these guys are absolutely smoking and the images: flawless!

But before you begin salivating over the next few pages of gorgeous guys, check out what Jorge had to say in an interview with me earlier this week: Where are you from?

I was born in Havana, Cuba, and came to Miami in the .BSJFM #PBU MJGU JO * XBT POMZ üWF ZFBST PME CVU that’s a whole other story. I've lived in Miami ever since... visited other places, but Miami is always home.

How did you get into photography?

I took photography as an elective in my senior year of high school. It gave me an excuse to approach the hottest boy in school and capture him in all his glorious youth. I still have those pictures on my desk. His beautiful blond IBJS BOE CSPXO FZFT TUBSUFE NF PO B KPVSOFZ 8F CFDBNF great friends but lost touch about 12 years ago.

Four years ago I got my first digital camera . It was a totally different monster, but being able to see my work milliseconds after I took it was magical!

What do you hope to accomplish with your photography?

I hope to inspire future photographers the way other photographers have inspired me. Thanks to the magic of the Internet, I've had people contact me from all over the world, wanting to buy my work or offering to assist me.

It’s funny because I could be in the mall, a restaurant, or anywhere and when I see a guy I find attractive, I already imagine him in my studio, with my lighting, ready to go! I love shooting these guys and being able to put my ideas into a photograph, being able to show them how they look in my head. But the truth is, men are beautiful creatures. They work out, they eat, and they play rough. Fascinating to watch and even

more amazing to photograph. These guys have so much to give.

You have photographed some of the most beautiful men in the industry. How do you find them?

They find me! Sometimes they come recommended from a previous model or I'll get random emails and texts with pictures and dates of when they will be in town. I also love meeting people through Facebook. It’s so easy because someone can view my work right away and know I'm not some creep with a camera. It’s funny! My best friend, Audrey, was telling me the other day that its amazing how I am now photographing the guys we use to drool over when we were younger. It’s crazy but true...

I am a lucky man!

Some of your pictures are incredibly provocative. Is it difficult to stay focused when you are photographing someone so gorgeous?

Ask my models! I am constantly screaming at them during a shoot. Telling them to give me more, to " sex it up".

TAKING YOUR EDUCATION SERIOUSLY

Happy New Year! Now that the holidays are over, we SFUVSO UP PVS UFO QBSU TFSJFT PO CBMBODJOH ZPVS MJGF 5IJT XFFL we focus on the importance of education. Education means different things to different people, but in general it refers to anything that makes us learn and grow. For some, it means attaining a college degree, for others, taking classes in an area of relevance to one’s career, and to even more people, education may be researching topics of interest on one’s own or learning a skill. .PTU (-#5 QFPQMF SFBMJ[F UIBU FEVDBUJPO JT JNQPSUBOU 5IF BWFSBHF FBSOJOHT PG B QFSTPO XJUI B IJHI TDIPPM EJQMPNB are significantly higher than for a person without one.

Many adults return to school to learn more and increase their chances of success. According to the U.S. Department of Education, 90 million people engage in some type of adult education each year. Many schools and colleges are eager to serve this huge market and provide programming designed specifically for working adults.

Since each person’s situation is unique, the steps you need to take to finish your education are determined by your specific goals and level of education completed. For those who may be interested in furthering their education, the following is a list of ideas to help begin this process:

20 | wire magazine | wireweekly.com

1. If you stopped going to school, think about why you stopped. Identify the factors that caused you to put your FEVDBUJPO PO IPME #F IPOFTU XJUI ZPVSTFMG 8IJDI PG them are still present in your life? How will you lessen their impact?

2 *G "UUFOUJPO %FĂĽDJU )ZQFSBDUJWJUZ %JTPSEFS "%)% PS B learning disability (LD) held you back, get a professional assessment.

Seek a psychologist who specializes in FEVDBUJPOBM UFTUJOH BMTP DBMMFE B 4DIPPM 1TZDIPMPHJTU GPS advice and recommendations.

3. Clarify your educational goals. Talk to your supervisor BU ZPVS KPC ZPVS IVNBO SFTPVSDFT NBOBHFS PS B DBSFFS counselor to help you develop life goals that fit your background and interests.

You can then take out your list to remind yourself of the reasons.

5. Seek the support of family, friends, and your employer.

Don’t expect to be able to accomplish your educational HPBMT CZ ZPVSTFMG FTQFDJBMMZ JG ZPV BMTP IBWF B KPC BOE a family or partner. You will need their support during the times when you need special consideration regarding scheduling or other types of help.

6. Do your ‘homework.’ Be prepared by planning carefully

what you intend to accomplish. Use the Internet to research things ahead of time. Stay organized and keep track of the information you will need at all stages of the process.

7. Reward yourself appropriately as you complete your goals. Make a special dinner for yourself and your family/ partner, buy yourself a treat or do something that will bring you pleasure, and be sure to share your successes with friends and family (Facebook status updates are great for obtaining this kind of support). Most importantly, BDLOPXMFEHF ZPVS FGGPSUT FBDI TUFQ PG UIF XBZ BOE FOKPZ the positive feedback!
