Note from the Publisher

Hello and welcome to the July-August issue of PhatBelt.com. It's been tough to put together with my recent schedule but I've managed to complete another issue. I've shortened it but then who's sitting at home this summer surfing the web...I hope everyone is out enjoying the sun. In this issue you'll see my somewhat random series of images taken around San Diego of sun, sea, and sky. See the Phation section for few bikini shot from photo sessions over the last year and a half. Images from the bikini series range from studio shoots to location. A few of the images are from the Gulls Girls 2006 bikini calendar and others are from model portfolio work. Also in this issue is a new section I'm trying out which is the Featured Artist. I'll occasionally highlight the work of creative people I've had the opportunity to meet. This issue features graphic designer Beck Bacoca (she's also the model on the cover and you'll find a bikini shot of her in the Phation section). Finally, I did not publish the Skinny (my how to section) in this issue as I just did not have time but come back for the September-October issue as I have big plans.

Enjoy!
Todd Akers
