Fat Tuesday

[octothorpe]

Still struggling to get my middle in order. My biceps and triceps are still barking from the week-end.

::sigh::

Oh, and scream4noreason asked people on his Flist to post a recent pic of themselves:




I took this pic a couple of weeks ago for my BHVR business card. I'll upload the entire series (I took pics of all the employees) to my flickr account when they're done.

I like this picture very much! I know the space is set aside for information to be added, but it rocks as it is! Fun having a completely blank background with you off-center in the corner.

HUGS!

Yeah.. I bounced the (alas, on-camera) flash (580EX II, for you Canon/photo geeks) off the corner of the room (just off-camera), and the ceiling. Had I an off-camera flash, I would have lowered the power, and gone direct from the same angle, or possibly below, shooting up, with a reflector in back for that "model" look. The wall normally has about 15 award plaques on it, but I removed them before shooting.

It's not my normal style of photography, but I wanted a more graphic look, which you'll see more clearly in some of the others when I post them.

Oops, I just drooled a little puddle.

[theoctothorpe.livejournal.com]

From which head?


;-)

hehehe

[figarobo.livejournal.com]

i found your LJ journal from following a comment on another bear's LJ account. You don't need to do anything else in life but just stand around and let people enjoy looking at you. Yum!

::blush::

That'd get awfully boring after awhile, don't you think?

[figarobo.livejournal.com]

All depends on where you're standing. Form my vantage point, the view is just fine...very fine...indeed. You are also an incredible photographer...that's just gravy for all the rest of us.

[theoctothorpe.livejournal.com]

Thanks much, and welcome aboard. I can't promise every post will be insightful or remotely interesting, but hey, we're all here for a good time, eh?

[bukephalus.livejournal.com]

Wow. OK if I just stare and drool for a while!? Whew.

[gryphon773.livejournal.com]

Swoon!

[bullchef.livejournal.com]

that's a great pic fella, arms look amazing..

[notdefined.livejournal.com]

Oh, you should see them live!

[bullchef.livejournal.com]

i'd love too.. ;-)

[notdefined.livejournal.com]

He does go back home every once in a while. :) Ask him to let you know when that might be.

[bullchef.livejournal.com]

let's see if he reads this!!

[notdefined.livejournal.com]

(he will! ) :)

It's indeed a great shot of you. Hope to see you in the flesh *ahem* sometime soon....

[macduff131.livejournal.com]

i just made a mess.

[tbone1961.livejournal.com]

looky THOSE guns!!

[quirkstreet.livejournal.com]

I hope another "wow" isn't too boring. ;-)

[theoctothorpe.livejournal.com]

Not *too* boring, although you *are* a writer. ;-)

[quirkstreet.livejournal.com]

Shall I compare thee to a stud I want to shag? Thou art most furry and most muscular. But hard, what pole through yonder denim breaks? It is a beast, and Christopher is The Stun.

[guiser1.livejournal.com]

i sometimes have lustful thoughts...

...like now.

[texwriterbear.livejournal.com]

Now that's a hot man!!!

WOOF

[badgerpdx.livejournal.com]

Thank god you live far away and I will never drive by you, causing me to crane my neck around and plow the truck right into a tree.

Fat, huh?

[badgerpdx.livejournal.com]

Fat, huh? Here, sit on my face and let me try to guess your weight.

Re: Fat, huh?

[tbone1961.livejournal.com]

OMG. You made me laugh. One of Randy's favorite prayers is....

"Haily Mary, Full of Grace, Pull down your pants and sit on my face".

To which I congenially oblige!!

Re: Fat, huh?

[theoctothorpe.livejournal.com]

ha!!! Brilliant. I've not heard that one before.

[jeffinthebox.livejournal.com]

Nice pic...great album cover with the addition of some graphic art :)

[theoctothorpe.livejournal.com]

I was thinking about inserting a giant comic thought/speech balloon

[rogueboi.livejournal.com]

I love the look on your face... as if to say, "I'm controlling your brainz from here with my pretty muscles... resistance is futile, so let's not kid each other, eh?"

[theoctothorpe.livejournal.com]

hahahahahahahahaha

Yes, I think this "post a recent pic of yourself" should be turned into LOLcats macros =)

[rogueboi.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. Yours would be "I gotz a invizible straitjacket!"

[krypto38801.livejournal.com]

I think I can interpret that look, and I shall post a reply.

"Yes, I DO give great neck and back massages. Why, no charge at all. What? Oh, well, give me a few days, and I'm SURE I can be single again. For you."

That about it?

[beastbriskett.livejournal.com]

To quote a man with taste...

H-A-W-T!

Wowsers!

(faints with a dreamy look on my face)

one man's flaws are another man's goals!

[redbearmark.livejournal.com]

I wish I had your middle that needs to get in order! I can only aspire to be your goal. It does look good on you even now.

Hope that the Autumn tide will be wonderful to and for you!

Hugs my friend.

My Lord

What a perfect post to leave this message. Lovely pix!

Thought to ask if you want to meet up sometime this week?

Re: My Lord

[theoctothorpe.livejournal.com]

You're in town??

I had no idea! Actually, I am leaving for KC on Friday, and Bill (my partner) is having a guest tomorrow, for whom I must cook.

How long are you going to be around?

Re: My Lord

[tkn1114.livejournal.com]

Check to see if I'm on your friends' list? I have the impression I'm not, although you're on mine. Thanks!

I've relocated to NYC for good, as I might have told you. I've posted briefly about it in my blog. I arrived last wednesday, so it's been a week now. It's been hectic. Everything was in the nick of time. Slammed everything into storage, gave back the apartment in Houston, jumped on the plane with 2 huge suitcases, and raced to BMCC to registered as soon as I landed. School started monday and all is well.

I'm still looking for an apartment and hope to finalize it this week. So I'm here! Love to meet soon.

Cheers!

Excellent!

I really like this pic though I'm not convinced on the positioning in the far right lower not centred. mebe I'm not "artistic" enough to appreciate it. The arms folded are only slightly "attitudinous" but not overly so. Believe me when I say that you really do look hawt thinning on top. MPB is something that some of us have just had to "get over" since the alternatives don't seem to be very satisfying. Also, the arms folded show the biceps to great advantage!

hey

[tkn1114.livejournal.com]

I like your icon! very cute :-)
