Let's make this birthday one to remember.

62 years old (Born on January 09, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Michael Stokes! You've captivated audiences worldwide, transforming the lens into a powerful storytelling tool and capturing strength in its rawest form. Your groundbreaking works—Masculinity and My Buddy—not only celebrate bravery beyond battlefields but redefine heroism through humor, grace, resilience (and an impressive number of abs). I'm convinced some models secretly fear birthdays because your photography keeps them forever ageless.

As another year rolls by amid cameras clicking away on incredible veterans who've redefined courage with honesty and charm—you've reminded us that real art leaves lasting impacts. Here's raising a toast to more adventures behind your camera lens; may every shot remain as timelessly cool as you are!
