Sometimes it is just impossible to escape the heat. When you have to rely on a cold beer, a breeze from an open window, and wearing as little as possible just to take the edge off, then you know it is going to be Hot in the City Tonight.
I was inspired by all the hot, humid nights we have been having lately. I wanted to portray the discomfort that can come from the oppressive August heat of the city while allowing the subject to retain his undeniable sex appeal.
