abs for the viewing

Saturday afternoon after my two loads of laundry were out of the way, I decided to get some groceries at Metrotown. This meant a short bus ride to Braid SkyTrain station where upon geting off the bus I found a gorgeous shirtless guy leaning up on a railing further up the ramp near the entrance to the station. His well-developed abs and pecs got my immediate attention. It was one of those times where I wished I had my camera, pen and paper to write stuff down but this time didn't have any of that. The guy was probably about 20 years old or about that and perfect for a model. This guy reminded me a lot of Brad and his lovely physique. There will be more opportunities. I'll have some business cards ready within a few weeks, so that will make things easier too, as far as getting models to take photos of that is! And by the way, that is not him in the above photo but certainly could look like him! Have a great Sunday!!! - V.

Canada Day at Jericho Beach

Wednesday was Canada Day! I spent the afternoon in Vancouver and decided to leave the laundry for the weekend, Saturday likely. Now when I got to town I didn't realize that the wind was as strong as it was. The above photos is a view of Vancouver's West End with Sunset Beach in the foreground. The photo was taken from the west side of the Burrard Bridge. You'll see in later photos I took that day just how strong the wind was.

From Burrard Street I walked to Kitsilano. This took me past Kitsilano Beach as the sign above indicates. The lawns are dried up in a lot of places due to the lack of rain. The little bit of rain we had recently was needed but didn't do enough to help the situation. The beach was crowded as you can easily see. This is normal on a hot day. The beach was also sheltered from the strong winds, an added plus!

Along Point Grey Road I saw these lavenders in full bloom in front of one of the upscale homes along the street. And below, the photos shows the typical style of the older homes in this area.

Then I arrived at Jericho Beach where you really could feel the full force of the strong wind. I spent some time near the Jericho Sailing School taking photos of the windsurfers doing their thing on the water, wind, waves and all. I watched guys have their sails knocked over and have to get up again, all while taking these shots with grit in my teeth and sand in my hair and trying to keep the camera steady, which was a challenge! So where can you go windsurfing or sailing and have the mountains as a beautiful backdrop?

I caught a seagull soaring above the pier by the sailing school while people below at the end of the pier were fishing for crabs (dungeness) and other things of the sea! The guy that caught these crabs (below) measured them and tossed them back since they were undersized. Most went willingly but one crab hung on with one of its claws. Once the claw was freed it was tossed as well. The photo below the one of the crabs in a trap is of two little ling cod that were caught by a fisherman. His partner was laughing and presumably once he got over his imbaressment, he tossed them back too.

The above photo looks toward the sailing school and towntown Vancouver. Note the sand blowing about! Despite the strong wind, it was an excellent time to fly a kite!!!

Above, the photo looks westward with Locarno Beach in the foreground and Point Grey Beach in the far distance. And if you haven't had enough of it, here is another phot of a windsurfer doing his thing with the mountains as a backdrop. Then we end this post with another pic of a seagull just one of a set of five taken on some rocks between Jericho Beach and the sailing school. I hope you had a great day as well!!! More to come! - V.

Jamie Dornan with Marlon Teixeira

I've posted these two photos before along with two others from the set but I'm posting them again with the previous post on Marlon Teixeira in mind. So here we have Jamie Dornan with Marlon Teixeira and since I only had Marlon's first name the last time, I couldn't do any research in order to check out any other photos of him. This has all changed. Enjoy!!! - V.

Marlon Teixeira - another Brazilian hottie!

I've featured photos of Marlon Teixeira before, those in black and white, but this is the first detailed post on his modeling career. Marlon, who was introduced to modeling at 16, turns 20 years old this coming August 24th. He was born in Balneario Camboriu, Santa Catarina, Brazil and came to New York City where he now lives from Sao Paulo. He's just under 6' 2" (6 foot 1 and 1 half inches to be exact), his hair is dark and his eyes are blue, shoe size is 11 (just like mine) and as far as ethicity is concerned, he's half Portuguese, one quarter Indian (Brazil) and one quarter Japanese to give him those hot looks he has. In my opinion, he looks hot half naked or fully clothed. What he wears and how can make him look even hotter! What do you think?

Marlon's favourite hobby is surfing and favourite clothing would be jeans, flip-flops and a basic t-shirt.His favourite artists are Philip Seymour Hoffman and Cate Blanchett. One of Marlon's favourite songs is "Faz Parte Do Meu Show" by the openly bisexual Brazilian singer Cozuza. He's worked for various agencies such as Way Models, Wilhelmina New York, MGM (Paris), Premier (London) and so on. Marlon's photos have also appeared in the Spanish magazine, Hercules. These photos taken by various photosgraphers will give you an idea where he's at in his career. It will be interesing to watch his model career unfold. Let's see where it takes him! Meantime, enjoy the pics!!! - V.
