No new year can be considered begun without a celebratory post of Ben Cohen. His virtue and good deeds have been extolled here countless times (as have several gratuitous posts illustrating that his outside is just as sweet as the inside). His 2020 calendar was an instant sell-out thanks to images like this, and his work with photographer Leo Holden (himself a Hunk of the Day) has brightened up many an Instagram feed. [See also Simon Dunn.] Mr. Cohen remains a voice for the often-voiceless, sharing his strength and support in causes close to his heart. We need more do-gooders like him in the world.
Bonus addendum and special shout-out to Mr. Holden of Snooty Fox Images, who continues to bring beauty into my dwindling Instagram account. Holden manages to capture the inner and outer beauty of Cohen and Dunn and any number of fine gents thanks to his artistic eye and keen vision. A vessel of all that is gorgeous, Holden channels the prettiness of the world through the keen work of his camera then shares it with the rest of us.
