iphone guy

Hey, now you hot-looking guys, if you have a photo of yourself that you'd like us to post, send it to us ( the email is in our profile) and we'll post it with your first name only (or initials).  For those that would like to send in nude photos of themselves, I guess we'll have to start up a separate link (blog) for to post them for others to appreciate.  So, once you've got the hang of how your iphone works, send us your images and we'll be glad to post them so you can share with others and help to motivate! - V

cameras, faces and other things

The rain we had yesterday, overnight and this morning has given way to occasional sunshine. I'm going to get some laundry out of the way shortly but I thought to get this post done first before doing that.

With my mind on cameras and various related equipment there's such a variety of cameras out there of one sort or another that its very handy to keep in touch with our friends and others, such as a fitness trainer, one our physical development (as you can see in the above image) or anything else that comes to mind. Its so easy to get up to date information from the internet and get feedback from others more or less immediately.

I've got two digital cameras, a camcorder, photo scanner and printers to my name, not to mention the laptop computer which is due to be replaced. The current laptop was bought in the spring of 2004 and has certainly seen better days. The new ones on the market now have larger hard drives and can handle the software available today. Mine originally had a small hard drive by today's standards but as I look, I should be able to find one that meets my needs today and for a few years to come. The plan is to buy a work station later and use the laptop when travelling about. That's the plan anyway!
Moving on to other matters, some faces grab my attention immediately. The eyes are the root to the soul and we must instinctively recognize others of like mind immediately. I know someone that looked similar to the person above when he was younger but when I last saw him, he had hair of the same colour and similar length but no white or grey in it. He's someone from my high school days. We met in high school when I was in grade 12 and he was in grade 11. The first time was like two deer caught in the headlights sort of thing which is the best way I can describe it. We met up a number of times over a period of years. His father was a United Church minister and his mother I'd never seen but briefly talked to on the phone when trying to contact John, my friend. We've long since parted ways and his parents have most likely passed on (but you never know). Wouldn't it be nice to meet up again and get caught up in what has happened in the intervening years? I do have a series of photos I took of John back in the 1970s which I'd certainly would want to share with him but who knows!

Friday evening on my way home from work I saw someone on the SkyTrain that looks a lot like Brad. The hair colour and length was the same, the shape of the ears and the stud in them was the same, and the height and age was similar (tall and handsome). There was one notable difference, he had a short dark beard, which would make sense. Brad said he had been in work camps in the Rockies and on the island (Vancouver). This guy was with an asian fellow of about the same age as him. If he is the one and the same, I would certainly want to meet up. Who knows?!?! Regardless, I hold no ill will and feel we should move forward and make a go of it. Friendship is a good start. The rest is up to Brad. All I can say at the moment is that I still have one of his photos as a wallpaper on the computer and I have the same image in my bedroom. That should say a lot!!!

Now I'm off to get the laundry out of the way. Hope all is well, guys!!! - V

hot muscles

Hey guys, if you've got some hot muscles you'd like to show off for others to admire and perhaps even give you some tips for fine-tuning them, send them on in. Use the email at the bottom of this page to send the pics to and you're guaranteed to get a response from me, and perhaps Brad as well. And if you're interested in modeling for us, we're certainly interested! Meantime, I hope this pic will provide you with some inspiration, guys! Hope you've all had an awesome weekend where ever you are and what ever you've decided to do!!! - V

Camera Giveaway

Scott sent along a link to a video about a camera giveaway, a DMC-G1 camera.  Check it out, and if you’re interested, you’ve got a limited time left.  The contest ends December 4th!  - V.

Scott Herman in Undergear

Scott, my favourite fitness trainer and model, gives us a short discussion on what it’s like to be the object of a photo shoot, in this case for Undergear.  He’s looking good, real good!!! – V.

weekend

Its Friday and the weekend is upon us. The weather is warm and pleasant. Its been in the mid-20s all week (thats Celsius!), so very summer-like! Some rain had been in the forecast but none came. We don't mind!

I've been doing some research on digital cameras lately. Sony has a 24 megapixel camera out at just over $3,000 and yesterday I was looking at a Hasselblad online that has 60 megapixels in resolution at a price of about $27,000, and thats likely the U.S. dollar amount. I check on a 50 megapixel Hasselblad but if you're thinking it would be cheaper, not. The price for that one was around $33,000. I've been thinking of upgrading from a 10.2 to 24 megapixel camera. The first one I mentioned seems to be more in my budget range at this point. The studio lights that I had mentioned in a previous post are being purchased early in July. Thats the plan anyway. This is as I'm getting much more serious into photography. I'll keep you posted on developments.

Meantime, the weekend is coming, so enjoy yours however you plan to spend it! - V.

cameras

As I mentioned in a previous post, I am looking at getting a better webcam than I currently have. The Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 (see image below) is in my sights and would be a benefit to Brad in the work that he is looking at. This webcam has a Carl-Zeiss lens and autofocus plus can take some rather sharp images. The the other camera I'm looking at is the Flip Ultra for taking videos that can be uploaded to MySpace and Facebook, just two examples. The Flip Ultra is in the centre of the top image.

Anyway, I may purchase one of the two next month or as soon as finances allow. Then there are the studio lights as mentioned in another post a while back. More on all this later. Now I'm off to bed since 5 am comes early enough. Have a great night! - Volker
