James Ellis in 2009

2009 is looking like it's gonna be a great year...

Great movies, new President, better economic outlook (we can only hope)... So why not mark out next year's major events with one of the hottest calendars available for the upcoming year... Enter the 2009 James Ellis Fitness Calendar, shot by talented Los Angeles photographer/video producer Noel Daganta.

You may remember James of course from a very minor post a long while back. James has been modeling for several years now, and has done work for Timoteo, Men's Fitness and quite a number of promo work-out videos... along of course with a couple of appearances on the small screen.

James' latest project is his recently released 2009 fitness calendar benefiting the Humane Society. The 2009 James Ellis Fitness Calendar was fully funded through donations by a number of well-intentioned sponsors, including of course friend of JBM, blogmate Hunk du Jour.

James and Noel shot a very cool promo video to go along with this calendar, giving a behind the scenes look at how the shoot went.

You can check out more of James on his website, and of course purchase the 2009 James Ellis Fitness Calendar at Top Fitness Models.
