It’s been a long time coming. Today we would like to finally introduce to you a dear friend and (cute) photographer, Ethan James. We were first approached by Ethan way back in December and our editor, Trey, being the ditz he is kept forgetting to follow up. Umm, DUH! No contacts, no blog. :-) Three months later we are proud to present the first of a five-day series of Ethan’s diligent work. Opening up Ethan’s workthis week is uber hottie Josh Andre, 23, of New Orleans, LA. What else can we say more editorially than “DAMN!”

Ethan James was born and raised in Southeast Texas and is currently based in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. We asked Ethan how does he find all these models and the humble photographer replies “A lot of them find me… through friends and word of mouth.” Currently in school at MTSU completing his PHD, Ethan tries to balance out his scholarly research with shooting.

Here’s another tidbit that we found interesting. Ethan was also an editor-in-chief of the largest student-run newspaper in the country at Texas A&M. No wonder we connect. Check after the jump for more photos of Josh courtesy of Ethan James Photography for TREY CRUZ. Don’t forget to keep checking back everyday for more photos by Ethan.

EDITORS NOTE: This post was written in the wee morning so there were tons of mistakes. Our apologies to Ethan for that. Updates include Ethan’s current school which is MTSU, not Texas A&M and etc.
